Class terrarium.
Low maintenance way to incorporate plants into your classroom. It is also a excellent tool for teaching children about
the water cycle as it demonstrates evaporation, condensation and precipitation.
Top of our science shelf is a jar with plant starters so the
children can view the root system of plants. Next is a drift wood tree that has a bird house attached and also a birds
nest, nesting between the branches. Under the tree is our bird nest collection, that we keep in see through jars.
