Third graders examine life in a terrarium and relate it to life in a larger environment. In this terrarium lesson, 3rd graders examine how living and non-living things work together by examining the changes in a terrarium. They make terrariums using soda bottles before looking at the water cycle, light variations, and relating it to larger environments. They record their daily observations.
