WTF....as I said the fish COULDn'T be in the water
You'd have to define "dirt" first. By doing so, you'd have to indicate its chemical makeup. Some "dirts" are more organic than others. Sands and gravels tend to be inert, or at least inorganic.
In most cases, you would just introduce a lot of organics that would need to be broken down (burdening your BB). That said, a heavily planted tank may actually require "dirt" to provide a suitable growth base.
It's not like introducing "dirt" would be equal to introducing poison, but there would likely be the organic load issue to deal with..........but define "dirt!" ; )

oh i remember this experiment!
hmm about the first... doesnt some potted aqurium plants like Giant Amazon Swords sometimes are in pots with dirt.
well i guese it would depend on the type of dirt... if it was ment for aquarium like aquarium soil.. and doesnt have other stuff that will leech and kill the fish like excess nitrates for plant growth that might be overwhelming for a small jar or tank =S
umm
Any ways... I dunno if this will help..
But heres how to cheat the project! Take out most of the Dirty if your worried it might be harmfull for the fish.
Gets something Low Light Anubius, Moss, or Cryp Lol
Add those pest long trumpet snails thingys, they should give for free in petstore.
Then shove a Betta! While Every one else will be using Feeders (i think)
that the teachers will provide. Mr Betta Will Last way Longer than the Feeder! =^_^=
