How to Make a Terrarium Speech

Marine stones: cold stone, made from sedimentary rock should be recharged by leaving in sunlight/moonlight or burying in the earth overnight.

One by one aligned themselves in a diagonal pattern. The arrangement of the holes is very crucial: if they are all in a straight line, the pipe will break into pieces. After three days and five hundred and twenty-eight holes, I have completed the central piece of the system. The outer basket requires less effort and fewer holes to be drilled. I switched my drill bit into a hole saw to take out larger holes, where the plant will grow. I positioned the center pipe inside the basket and poured the mixture of soil in between. To complete the work, I sprinkled some of my helpers- earthworms -to help digest the veggie waste inside the pipe and fertilize the soil. Another project has been

To start of the garden, pour in the soil one third of the pot or pour the soil on the ground until it covers the soil you already

Add three seeds to the potting mix and cover seeds with little remaining potting mix. After the addition of the potting mix, use a dropper filled with water and water each cell until water drips from the wick. Then place the quads on a watering tray under the fluorescent light bank. Each cell should have an equal distance from the light bank. Quads should be three inches below the fluorescent light; the light should also be left on all day. Make sure all wicks are in contact with the mat that sits on the watering tray. Also watch out for the watering system regularly throughout the experiment. After four to five days record plants in the quads, giving their phenotypes in a table for each cell removed all but the strongest plant.

Take the bowl of water and the paper towels. Submerge your hand in the water, then pat the paper towel with your hand, to dampen the towels before planting but not to the point where the towels are soaked. Do this for each group of seeds soaked in the solutions (5).

Soil and water, the soil has made the water is brown and dirty looking; I can also smell the soil.

* Pass around some interesting photographs relating to ecological systems to help gain some interest and motivation around the topic.

For this course we received a hands-on opportunity to view science in an outdoors setting at Nixon County Park. I attended a training session to learn more about the practices and procedures of nature education and assisted two grade levels of children that visited the park. I helped first graders on a nature walk and fourth graders on an indoor lesson about animals. Both were unique experiences that helped me learn to become a better teacher of science.

My students will create their own Natures Notebook out of donated notebooks given to the school or I will provide them given the income status and if the student’s families can afford one. I will start the Natures Notebook with a PowerPoint describing what the project is, how it will be graded weekly and why it is important. For the observations, we will take 20 minutes at the beginning of class to go outside and observe, write what we observe and in the class that will lead us into our unique lesson plan for the day. At the end of the lesson, students will have 5 minutes to make a prediction for the next day.

getting them wet. I also will discuss their origin and how they need care and

Since the farming community has diminished significantly, it is paramount for the participants to learn these lessons. The garden project provides classes on eating healthy, teamwork and proper agricultural skills. The United States is flooded with fast, over processed food. Having this food so readily available has caused people to forget about putting the time and effort into gardening. It is essential that the future adults of the United States learn the importance of being healthy. Although Sprouting Hope may be a small organization, it has managed to expand its garden twice and now has dozens of produce

As students enter their second grade year it is crucial that they investigate the world around them. Part of that investigation involves learning about the basic life cycles of the animals that they commonly interact with. This paper will cover basic background information about animal life cycles that is necessary to teach this standard to a second grade audience. It will also outline specific strategies for teaching this content to second graders and support of why these strategies are effective.

thus is non-polar and will attract non-polar impurities [2]. Although charcoal will not work for all

Step 2: Next you will need a shovel to dig a hole where the container will sit in it. The top of the potting soil needs to be even with the surrounding ground.
