PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In this unit, students begin by reading a book about David Attenborough and then going through a short exercise to determine what sustainability means. Next, students build a mini ecosystem in a jar and learn how to build a terrarium. Terrariums are self-sustaining ecosystems that require very little maintenance.
NOTE: Includes live plants! (Purchase separately. Order plants one week before scheduled class to allow time for delivery).
WHAT'S INSIDE:
This download comes with a detailed lesson plan and a supply list to gather your materials. Also included are pdfs for the Terrarium Planning Worksheet and Terrarium Care Cards for students to take home with their project. We recommend buying materials at least 5-7 days before your class and to plan about 3-4 hours of prep depending on the size of your class.
This activity supports the following Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Common Core standards.
