My Terrarium

This picture shows mine and my partners terrarium. The supplies we used were: Water, Soil, Seeds (Peas, Corn, Barley, and Radish) , Saran wrap, Tubs (for holding everything) , Isopods and Darkling Beetles, Grass, Runways (for our bugs), and apples and carrots for our experiment. Mine and my partners plants grew very big.


The environmental factors that were tested were to see if isopods liked apples or carrots better on grass. At the end of the experiment we found out that the isopods like apples better than carrots.

All our plants grew great, but the best one was Radish . It grew huge. In the picture its the one if the top left. The worst plant in our terrarium was the Clovers. The only reason they did not grow very big is because the root came out of the ground which stop it to grow.

When we put in the grass, carrots, and apples in our terrarium, after a week or 2 the apples and carrots started to rot, and the grass died. At first it looked very ugly, but then we moved the grass around and it didn't look to bad, but not great. This experiment was fun, and it was fun to experience with plants and build our own terrariums and plant our own plants with no parent help ( but our teacher).
