Ecology Experiments and Science Fair Projects

Ecology Projects

For students learning about ecology, science experiments are a great way to understand how different organisms relate to each other and their environment The projects dealing with relationships or cycles in nature experiments: topics, ideas, resources, and sample projects.

Homemade Ant Architecture

Ant Architecture This project lets you observe the elaborate tunneling structures of an ant colony and determine the social organization of ants. You will need 2 wide-mouth glass jars Frozen-orange-juice can or similar can Small dish Fine cloth netting Rubber band Digging spade White paper Soil sample with ants Gardening gloves Small block of wood Pie tin Black construction paper Cellophane tape Procedure Collect workers ants by using the digging spade to gently lift soil under flat rocks. Place the soil sample on the white paper and gently stir it. As the ants scatter, fold the paper and brush…

What effect does acid rain have on plant life

What effect does acid rain have on plant life? This article contains the effect of acid rain on plants and wildlife. most everybody has heard about acid rain and knows that it is something bad. But what exactly is it? What are its effects on plants, animals, human beings, and what can be done to solve this problem? The term acid rain does not convey the true nature of the problem and therefore scientists use the term "acid depositions". This is because the acid which has formed due to pollution may return to the earth as a solid or a…
