To start, the two-liter bottle is cut in half with the top being inverted. The bottom holds small rocks and water for our Mosquito Fish to call home with a small aquatic plant to provide oxygen. The top will be filled with soil and host a small plant as well. These two environments are connected with a small rope so that they can provide each other with necessary nutrients (i.e. water, nitrogen, etc). Students will get a hands-on learning experience by creating a terrarium that includes both an aquatic and terrestrial environment to get them a special take-home memory during these Covid years. The best part about this project besides being so hands-on and creative is that students get to take it home and continue to observe and learn from their environments! This is a fantastic way to help bridge the gap for students who may be quarantined at home due to illness (Covid-19). They will have the opportunity to continue to learn and grow even when they are not in the physical classroom.
