I've used this presentation to conduct a terrarium making workshop for young adults and have guided young children (1-to-1) to make their own terrarium. In the presentation, I've used an open glass bowl as an example to show the steps, which would be

THE UNIVERSE AND EARTH'S TIMELINE PROJECT
It's really hard to teach students about the age of the Earth, much less the universe. This project provides a visual depiction of the geologic evolution of the universe, Earth and its creatures. Use a 25' piece of adding machine tape or the 12.5' shorter version. Directions for either are very clear, step-by-step, simple enough for a 5th grader. This is an excellent tool to demonstrate the relative lengths of eras, periods and eons of Earth development. Use it as an individual, small group, or
