Science
- The student learned about the water cycle by observing condensation on the walls of the terrarium and water droplets forming on the top, representing evaporation and precipitation.
- Through the growth of plants in the terrarium, the student gained an understanding of the nutrient cycle, observing how plants absorb nutrients from the soil and recycle them as they decay.
- The activity provided the opportunity to learn about ecosystems and the interdependence of living organisms, as the student observed how the plant, soil, and water interacted within the closed environment of the terrarium.
For continued development, the student could expand the study by introducing different types of plants and investigating how they impact the water and nutrient cycles within the terrarium. Additionally, incorporating different soil types or adding small organisms like worms could provide further insights into the ecosystem dynamics.
