Build a Self Sustaining Ecosystem

Building a self-sustaining ecosystem is a fun and educational activity. You can build an aquatic ecosystem in a fish tank or you can build a terrarium with any plants you choose. The process is quite simple, but striking the balance between organisms can be tricky. With trial and error, time, and persistence, you can develop your very own self-sustaining ecosystem.
