Flamingoes- Making the Terrariums


Flamingoes- Making the Terrariums

The flamingoes watched a short video to learn about how terrariums work, the water cycle and how we can build them . Then we made our very own terrariums!!! We first filled the jars with gravel, then the soil and seeds and finally we sprinkled some water and closed the jars. The children are looking forward to see their plants grow!!!

Purpose:  
To develop interest in different cycles in nature
Planting and caring for living things encourages discovery and a love for nature. 
To understand the water life cycle i.e evaporation, condensation, and precipitation
To instill a sense of responsibility for the environment

Connection to lpfö: 
To develop their interest in science, nature and develop love and care for the environment
