This activity illustrates the interdependence of living organisms and their environment. Children learn how plants, animals, and microorganisms interact within an ecosystem, exploring concepts of biodiversity and sustainability in a tangible way.
Building a miniature ecosystem allows kids to observe ecological interactions firsthand, supporting embodied cognition. They engage with the material world, making abstract concepts like ecosystems relatable and memorable as they witness growth and change over time.

Pour a small amount of water into the soil. 5. Place the top half inverted over the bottom half to create a greenhouse effect. 6. Observe the growth over a week and discuss changes.
