Activity or challenge

Build a terrarium aquarium system, observe it for at least five minutes each day, and record your observations, questions, and findings.

We built an aquarium and terrarium system and in the terrarium side we planted 20 alfalfa seeds, 26 mustard seeds, 20 grass seeds. Later we are going to add crickets and maybe a reptile or amphibian.

In the aquarium side we put 3 guppies, two snails, 6 pieces of elodea, and 30 duckweed.
