Reflection on the Term's Work

1. Yes, we all believe that our Eco-Column was a good success. Despite our plant dying, everything else seemed to be working very nicely. Maggots were formed, decomposing away everything in our Decomposition Zone. Our earthworms lasted for a good while, until eventually they died, allowing more dead matter to decompose. In the end, our Eco-Column even managed to become self-sustaining, as its own plant life began to form! I really believe that it was a true success, as we had a great time building it, observing it, blogging about it, and just learning about Ecology in the process. It really was a true success.

2. Redwald- I learned an unbelievable amount about Ecology in the past term. I've learned how abiotic, and biotic factors interact with one another, and ways to make an Eco-System self-sustaining. Just blogging about our findings taught me a lot about how and why things happened in our Eco-Column. I really have increased my understanding of Ecology. 
Calven- I really was interested in Ecology from the start, and my understand of the topic has grown every time we wrote a new blog post. I've now begun to grasp the concept of all the biotic, and abiotic factors working together in an Eco-System. I think the reason why I've learned and understood so much about Ecology, because it was a fun and interesting way to learn. 
Daniel- At the start of the first term, when we were introduced to this 'project', I really did struggle to understand the whole 'Ecology' thing. I'll be honest, it sure did take a while, but eventually I managed to take hold of the information I needed to know when blogging. Red and Calven really helped me along the way, teaching me, and helping me understand how, and why things happen in the Eco-System, and our Eco-Column. So, after a hard term's work, I can really say that my understand of Ecology has really been improved. 

3. Redwald- I really believe that our group worked really well together. Everybody contributed an even amount, and whenever one of us struggled to understand a task, the other two members would help him get the knowledge he required. We worked hard, and efficiently, sticking to our tasks until they were done. 
Calven- I believe our blog does show what we've learned about Ecology, and about our very own Eco-Column. It is a rather accurate reflection of what we have learned, we believe our Blog was well made, and almost all the information about our Eco-Column was put up on there. Just working on the posts taught me so very much, increasing my fascination for the subject.
Daniel- To start off, we all worked together in building the Eco-Column. Building it together during Open Periods, and on weekends. We eventually finished this, and filled it together one afternoon after our cricket practice. We then began posts on our blog, which we all worked well on. Redwald was our blog master, who did all the posting. However, Calven and I did write many posts, we just ran them through Red as his English is quite strong, and we believed that it would be rather nice should our English be grammatically correct! Calven was our Photographer, he took the pictures of our Eco-Column and sent them on to whoever needed them for a post. We all took our work up with a smile on our face, and got it done. Together as a team, we worked superbly, and I hope that all our great teamwork results in a nice overall mark.
