My learning project topic for EDTC300 is self-sustaining ecosystems. It is my goal that by the end of the semester I will have learnt enough information about the various aspects of these ecosystems to create my own self-sustaining terrarium.
Throughout this project, I will learn more about what a self-sustaining ecosystem is, the process of creating one as well as the plants that one can use. I will further my understanding of plants overall by broadening my research to include uses, benefits and identifying characteristics of the specific plants that can be involved in creating a self-sustains ecosystem.

Although I do not know much about the who’s, what’s, where’s, when’s, why’s or how’s of creating a self-sustaining terrarium, I do have some knowledge about different plants and how to care for them. I am hoping this background knowledge will provide some guidance as I work through this experience.
