Are Terrarium



This is a Terrarium that me and my partner built in science class. I will tell you about the terrarium.

I am going to tell you how we made the terrarium. first my partner and i started off with just a plane bucket like the one in the pic. Then are teacher Mr. Reed gave us about a few inches of soil to put in the bucket (like in the bucket.) After that the teacher told us to go grab the seeds those seeds were Barley, corn, radish, pea, and clover. When my partner and i got the seeds we planted the seeds in the soil that was shown on the map in are terrarium envirnment journal. After we planted the seeds Mr. Reed gave us some water to just start the plants off with alittle water so they can grow over the weekend. Thats how we built are terrarium.

Now that we have planted all the plants now that big plant that you see comming out of the terrarium is the corn the corn grew pretty big. As you can see the other plants didnt really grow tall or good all you can see are rocks, one plant, soil and a bucket.
There are lots of envirnmental factors to are terrarium, I will name some

  • sun
  • plants
  • soil
  • rocks
  • water
  • darkling beetles
  • isopods

those where some of our envirnmental factors in our terrarium. Now i will tell you what some of the incects that where in our terrarium there was a Darkling beetle, and isopods the animals where really active in our terrarium we had rocks and plants for the so they can eat and play. and we have dark sports for them o have alone time and have dark to sleep in.

and as you can tell in our terrarium our plant that grew the best was the corn because it grew really tall and heathy in our terrarium and it grew the tallest i say it probily grew about 8 or 9 inches tall. I didnt measure the plant so thats my guess.

and thank you Mr. Reed for leting us do this expearment!!
