Abiotic features of our eco-column after 2 weeks

Abiotic features

Temperature of aqua zone: 27 degrees Celsius
Temperature of the room: 35 degrees Celsius
pH reading of the aqua zone: 9

The temperature of the aqua zone is expected because it is a hot, humid zone. We had several worms in the decomp zone but because of the temperature of the zone one died.
When the temperature recording took place the room was hot which could have effected the temperature of the aqua zone.

Our eco-column does not receive light from 4 o'clock in the afternoon until 8 o'clock in the morning because it is in a classroom. It also being constantly kept cool by roof fans above it at the same times as the light but the fans do not turn on on Saturday and Sunday.

These factors could have varied the temperature of the aqua zone and the pH reading.
