Today the temperature of our bio-dome was around 72 degrees Fahrenheit. We also observed water being evaporated from the little pond and from the bark. It started condensation on the roof of the bio-dome. This is part of the ecosystem's water cycle. We noticed that the Salamander had burrowed further down so that we could not find him easily. We also noticed that one of the grasshoppers was missing a leg. We came to the conclusion that it may have been torn off in his battle to not be eaten. We experimented with the Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen censors today as well. Making sure they work properly. We plan to be soon graphing the data we collect from these as well as

What predictions do you make about the longevity of life for your grasshopper? How do you test the sensors in your bio dome? Why it is important that they are working properly and what will you use that information for?

I don't think the grasshopper will be able to live much longer because of its disability.
We plug the censors into the Map Quest Mini, which is plugged into our computer, and that pulls up a graph. It is important for these to be working because we need to know whether or not we have to many producers making to much oxygen or if we don't have enough producers making enough oxygen. If we have to much of one thing, everything will die.
