GSCC – Terrarium Building
Could a plant grow in a bottle? Students will build a terrarium – an ecosystem in a jar. Because matter and energy is constantly cycling through ecosystems, organisms can stay alive even if they are in a closed container like a bottle or jar. Students will be able to see how the natural environment can…
