Choosing a terrarium as our research capstone offers numerous educational and practical benefits. Firstly, it provides a hands-on opportunity for students to learn about ecosystems, plant biology, and environmental science in a tangible way. Building and maintaining a terrarium allows students to observe firsthand the interdependence of living organisms and the importance of environmental balance. Additionally, terrariums are low-maintenance, making them suitable for classroom settings where time and resources may be limited. They also serve as a living laboratory, fostering curiosity and critical thinking as students observe plant growth, nutrient cycles, and interactions within the closed ecosystem. Furthermore, terrarium projects promote teamwork and collaboration as students work together to design, build, and care for the miniature habitats. Overall, choosing a terrarium as a class project not only enhances students' understanding of scientific concepts but also fosters a sense of responsibility for the environment and encourages teamwork and collaboration.
