The history of terrariums and how to construct one are presented in this PowerPoint. Each important step aspect of terrarium care is discussed: selecting a container, drainage, soil, types of plants, and maintenance. You will want to correct a typo on slide #15 and remove the textbook references on slide #16, but otherwise this is a sound presentation. Consider having your life science learners construct a terrarium at the beginning of the school year to observe plant growth and changes over time.
