An Eco-Jar is a self-contained miniature world that replicates the natural balance of an ecosystem, allowing you to observe how different organisms interact with each other and their environment. It's a fun and educational project that can be done at home, creating a tiny garden or forest inside a glass container.
Step 1 involves gathering materials like a clear glass jar, gravel, potting soil, small plants, and water. Step 2 focuses on preparing the base by adding gravel, activated charcoal, and potting soil. Step 3 guides on planting the plants, while Step 4 suggests adding decorative items. Finally, Step 5 emphasizes the importance of observing and maintaining the ecosystem by placing it in a well-lit area, keeping the soil moist, and ventilating the jar regularly.
