We built a terrarium to show how a mini-ecosystem works.

Slurp experiment:  it was SUPPOSED to show how water travels up roots and stems.  It didn't work very well--that's science for you!!  What we expect to happen isn't always what happens.

Madison made her own terrarium at home!

Sometimes we play in 5th grade.  Two friends here chose a game I brought down from Kindergarten!

More terrariums!

An awesome journal entry showing this child's thinking.
