On Thursday, January 22, as a class, we made a Terrarium to see the water cycle in action! In a large glass jar we put sand, soil, an ivy and some water ... we put the lid on and waited to see the Water Cycle in ACTION!
We placed the jar near the BIG window in our classroom and just let it do it's thing for a few days. Today, Tuesday, January 27, we took a look at the jar and opened it up to see what was going on!
There is LOTS of condensation on the inside of the jar. The children said that it looks FOGGY!
When we took off the lid, we see the condensation that is trapped on the inside of the lid. The water in the terrarium tries to evaporate but gets trapped by the lid and then falls back down onto the plant mimicking the Water Cycle.
A peek inside the jar ... DAY 6
So far the plant looks healthy and happy!
