Building an Ecosystem
Building an ecosystem will enable students to define observe a working unit made up of organisms interacting with each other and with other nonliving factors. This is an excellent activity for meeting the fifth grade grade-level expectations for Unit 5 Ecosystems.
The following website has excellent directions for constructing an ecocolumn along with detailed lesson ideas.

After observing the system for a week now I would suggest that the system be constructed at the BEGINNING of the ecosystem unit. By constructing it at the start of the unit you can observe changes along the way and then place a pollutant into the system at the end of the unit. Students should also continue to observe the column after the completion of the unit.
