How to make a Terrarium / Indoor Ecosystem
We are getting done with our study of the story of creation. I thought a good 'end of unit' study, before we move on, would be making our own tiny ecosystems. They are SO easy and so fun!

You Will Need
-
Step 1Layer on the bottom, the ingredients as follows:
Gravel, then charcoal, then bark, and then soil. Make sure it does not go above 1/4 of your jar.
-
Step 2
Add in plants into the center.
-
Step 3
Around the plants, place pieces of the moss. Use chopstick to move your moss around until you get it in the right place.
-
Step 4
Use finger tips or a dowel with a large cork on the end of it, to pat the soil and moss down around the outside of the jar. Arrange to look pretty.
-
Step 5Place rocks, tiny critters, or pretty pieces of tumbled glass around the terrarium as accents.
-
Step 6Every three days, squirt the ecosystem with a squirt bottle. The moss is your canary in the coal mine. When it starts to look dry, you know you need more water.
-
Step 7Enjoy and happy crafting!
