Build A Terrarium (digital version) Ecosystem
I searched high and low to find an online resource that would allow my students to build a digital terrarium. I couldn't find one. So, I built one using Google Slides. The first slide is their terrarium container. The second slide is the clip art that I found, so students could build their terrarium on the first slide by copying and pasting the clip art on the second slide. I also included a soil and gravel/charcoal layer for their terrarium. I also created and arrow slide so they could illustra
