The hypothesis is that different communities have different organisms.

You will collect soil samples, observe and identify organisms, and distinguish between producers and consumers.

You will need soil samples, newspaper, vials, a hand lens, and four small jars with covers.

Through this project, you will gain a better understanding of the organisms that live in different communities. You will also learn how to distinguish between producers and consumers. One interesting observation is that producers are usually green in color and are capable of producing their own food, while consumers are usually brown or other colors and cannot manufacture their own food.

This science project is interesting and unique because it allows students to explore different communities and identify the organisms that live there.

Experiment variations to consider include collecting soil samples from different locations and comparing the organisms found in each sample, or comparing the organisms found in different types of communities.
