    Terraiums
    Terraiums are fun to make. You need rocks at the very bottom. Then you need dirt on top of the rocks. Plus , you put the seeds in. Finally you put the right amount of water on top of everything.
    You have to take good care of it. You will need to water it. Plus , when the seeds grow into plants you will have to take them out. You will have to water them a lot. It is okay though it is fun. You will have to put it in a window in front of the sun.
    The water cycle is very important. First the water rains. Second it fogs because the heat. Then it evporats back in to the clouds that is called condensation. Finally it percipitaion. That is what the scietist call rain. Terraiums are really cool.

    If you want to make a terrarium it is very easy here are the first step . You get some rocks after that you put some soil but not a lot. If you mix up the rocks and soil then when you put the water it will get all muddy. You put your seeds inside the drit but not all the way our it will not grow. I already put mien in it is a onange marigold it looks like a paint brush. When it get's fogy then you put in the sunlight but put it in a room next to the window it won't die.

    How to make a terrarium. You make a terrarium by getting a bottle then fill the bottom withsome rocks. Then, you put soil on the rocks, you should give plenty of sunlight and water. When you are done with the soil you put in a plant. thats how you make a terrarium.
    How I take care of my plant First, I give it some water so it evaperates to the top. Then, the water caondensates so the plant has more water. At last, the water percpitates to give water to the plant. thats how i would take care of my plant.

  5. It is really easy to make a Terrarium for a plant. First you can pick a jar or bottle, what ever you want. Second,put some small rocks at the bottom of the jar or bottle. The third step of the project is to put some soil for the plant. lastly put any plant you want inside it. Those are the simple steps to mak a terrarium.

    Its not that hard to to take good care for your plant in your Terrarium. You can water your plant 4 times a week. also put the plant from the Terrarium in your window. Make sure your Terrarium gets lots and lots of sun light. Lastly poke a hole in the top so it gets air. It is really easy to take care of your Terrarium.

    There are three steps in the water cycle. The first partof the water cycle is evaporation. second it is condensation in the water cycle. The very last part of the water cycle is precipitation. Those are the three simple parts of the water cycle.

    How To Make A Terrarium

    First, to make a terrarium is to get an emty jar of pickles. Second, you have to get garden pebbles and put them in the jar. Third, you put in the soil and you can see the layers to. Then, you put in the seeds and then the water. Finally, you can see that the sunlight is hitting the jar so it gives heat to the plant and the water gives the plant the right moisture.
    When the sun gives heat the water cycle starts. The water cycle goes like this evaporation, condensation, and percipitation. When the jar gets foggy that means the cycle has begun. The reason why the sun is important is because the sunlight gives the plant some light to grow and if there were worms give it the right nutrients to the soil to help the plant grow. With the water cycle the water goes up in the clouds because of evaporation. Next, the water becomes rain, which is percipitation and starts all over again with the water cycle. Also, that the sun is so bright the water can get dry and become the water cycle.

    There are three different types of seeds and the names are Marigold, Alysuvm, and the Cilantro. Also, that some of my friends got three marigold seeds and the others got some alysuvm. Then, I had got the alysuvm plant and its growing right now at my house and its going to look so cool when I get home also its going to look so beautiful. Plus, the two types of jars you can get is a plastic type or a glass type. Finally, my plant is going to be a white plant and its going to look so pretty.

    To make a terrarium you need rocks,dirt,a jar,and seeds. First you need a jar that has a lid then you put the rocks. You put the rocks in first because if you over water your plant the water will go down to the rocks. There are two layers the first layer is the rocks. The second layer is the soil. After you put the rocks in you put the soil in. Next you put a few seeds and push them in the dirt. The seed I chose was the Asyluum. They're little white flowers. The last thing you do is water it. Now your done.
    To care for your terrarium you only do a few things. The first thing you do is water your plant once a day at the very beginning. Next you put the lid on and poke one hole. We put the hole in it because sometimes the plant needs fresh air. The last thing you do is take your plant home and put it by the window. Thats all you need to know to care for your plant.
    In the terrarium when you water your plant a water cycle happens. When you put it in the sun the water cycle begins. The heat causes the water to evaporate. Then the water goes to the lid, thats called condensation. After that it starts to rain. Then it happens all over again, thats the water cycle.

    There are a few steps for making a terrarium. A lot of things happen in a terrarium like evaporation, condensation, and percipitation also known as the Water cycle. There are 3 layers: 1st rocks(for right amount of moisture), 2nd soil (to help the plant to grow) and last the seed(for plant to grow). All those go in a terrarium. You also need water, sun light, and air for it to grow. If I got it right I should grow Marigolds and Alysuvms.
    When you take care of a terrarium you leave it inside. If it`s outside raining the plant will freeze. It has to be inside near a window. It gets all of its energy from the sun. With out the sun the plant would die.

    Making a terrarium is pretty easy.
    The things you need are glass bottles
    or plastic. But the most importtant thing
    is water,soil,and rocks. you also need water,
    seeds,and sun light.

    Putting a terrarium together. The
    things involved are heat and water cycle.
    First you put in the rocks (that help keep
    the moisture in the soil).Then the soil. After
    that you push the seeds in. Then put on the
    cap and poke a hole(so air could go in).

  11. Today, my class made terrariums. A terrarium is a self contained system. All the things you need to make s terrarium is jars plastic or glass, pebbles, soil, water, and seeds. It also needs sunlight because it gives the plant energy and powers the water cycle.
    Next, we got to start on our terrariums. First, we put colorful pebbles in the jar because they help keep the soil dry. Then, our teachers Mr.Frisch and Ms.O put soil in the jars the soil

    To make a terrarium you will need soil, rocks, and water. When you are making a terrarium Dont shake it up if you do it will Not work ! When you make a terrarium you half to put in the rocks in terrariumfirst. Then we will add the soil to the terrarium by puring it over the rockes. After that we add the seed {seeds} you will like and pure it above the soil. When you are done puring it {them} down but not all the way down. Finally you will need to sprinkle water in so it will process. Thats how to make a terrarium!

    To take care of your terrarium you half to give your plant love. About a month you could take off the top so it could get fresh air. If you made your terrarium by yourself and if you could also put a hole on the top. To keep your plant to survive you could put it on the window seal where the sun hits. Thats how you take care of your terrarium!

    A terrarium is a closed ecosystem, the water cycle works inside. Heat causes water to evaporate. Water is changed to a gas. Gas collects in clouds which is condensation. Eventually percipitation happens when the clouds are heavy with water .

    To make a terrarium you first have to get a jar, rocks, soil, seeds, and water. You start with the jar, put the rocks inside and you put the soil on top of the rocks.The last thing you do is put the water in the jar.
    To take care of a terrarium you got to leave it were babies can't get it. Some can be glass or plastic. You should always take care of them. It does not take a lot of effort. Thats how you can take care of your terrarium.
    The water cycle is very important. The water cycle has many parts sunlight, moisture is water, evaporation is the water gos awy, condensation is the water inside, percipitaion is rain .Thats all you need for your terraium to work. When the sun gives heat to the terrarium it makes it watery. Its like your a scientist thats cool, right?
    Moisture is water to water plants. Condensation water is inside the bottle Conondensation water is inside the bottle collecting at the top.
    Percipitaion is rain that the plants need.

  15. The way to make a terrarium. The first thing you do to make a terrarium is get some rocks. The reason you need rocks is cause if theres to much water it goes down to the rocks. After you do that put soil in the glass jar or bottle with rocks but rocks go first. Next you can put the seeds in. The seed i'm sprowting is cilantro. There are gonna be three steps of the water cycle. These are the steps to the water cycle the first step is evaperation. Evaperation is when the heat turns the water into steam. The second step is condensation. Condensation is when the water collects into the air. The last step is precipitation. Pricipitation is when water gathers up and makes rain. All of the steps start from moisture and sun light. The layers on the side look awesome!
    The way to take care of your terrarium. The way to take care of your terrarium is make sure you have it on the window seel when its sunny not dark. Do not put to much water. All you need is a little water and sun then the water cycle begins. Don't shake your jar or bottle. Especially marigold or alysuum
