Gear up for an adventure in the world of science and nature! Picture this: we're diving into the creation of awesome terrariums using glass jars. We'll layer the soil just like nature does, discovering how each layer supports different life forms. It's like building mini ecosystems right in our classroom! And while some of us are busy with terrariums, others will be getting hands-on with fruit density experiments. With scales and water at our disposal, we'll explore which fruits float and which sink, uncovering secrets about their structure and adaptation. Get ready for a wild ride through the wonders of our natural world!

Creating a Terrarium:

  • Gather materials: Glass jars or containers, potting soil, gravel or small rocks, activated charcoal (optional), various plants suitable for terrariums, decorative elements (optional).
  • Layer the bottom of the jar with gravel or small rocks for drainage
  • Add a thin layer of activated charcoal on top of the gravel to help keep the terrarium fresh (optional).
  • Carefully add a layer of potting soil on top of the charcoal, ensuring it's even and covers the bottom of the jar.
  • Plant your chosen plants in the soil, arranging them as desired.
  • Add any decorative elements, such as small figurines or stones.
  • Water the terrarium lightly, being careful not to overwater.
  • Seal the jar with its lid or plastic wrap to create a mini greenhouse environment.
  • Place the terrarium in a location with indirect sunlight and monitor it regularly to ensure the plants thrive.
you're architects of an underground world teeming with life! Assemble your tools: glass jars, soil, rocks, and plants. First, lay down a bedrock of gravel, mimicking nature's drainage system. Next, activate your charcoal filter, like a superhero's shield against toxins. With surgical precision, layer the soil – topsoil for nutrients, subsoil for stability, and bedrock for foundation. Now, the stage is set for your green allies, the plants, to take root. As you seal the lid, it's like locking in the secrets of this miniature ecosystem. Witness the dance of life in your terrarium, where each layer plays a vital role in sustaining the delicate balance of nature.
