What are some science experiments for kids?
Some experiments that I have done with my children are erupting volcano you will need: baking powder fake volcano made out of play dough vinegar another experiment is the pepper trick you will need: pepper container water detergent first you put the water in the container then put the pepper in, dip your finger in detergent and put your finger into the water with the pepper, then watch what happens. another experiment is the floating egg 1) get an egg 2)get a glass of water 3)fill the glass with cold water 4)put salt in the water 5) mix the salt water with a spoon or fork 6)put egg in salt water and watch what happens
Why does yeast need hot water?
Warm water is best for yeast because yeast is a living organism that likes to live in similar temperatures to humans. Put yeast in hot water and it dies, put it in cold water and it will not do its job properly (will be too cold to reproduce fast etc). Put it in water that is just right and it will thrive
How is carbon dioxide recycled in a terrarium?
A closed terrarium is a closed ecosystem just on a much smaller scale. The supply of carbon dioxide in the terrarium air is very small because of the limited volume of air. Therefore, unless the terrarium contains animals to provide carbon dioxide or microbes break down large amounts of organic matter in the soil and release carbon dioxide, the plants in a sealed terrarium cannot gain significant dry weight. They would basically refix the same carbon dioxide over and over. The carbon dioxide the plants release during cellular respiration would be refixed via photosynthesis, then respired, refixed, respired, refixed, etc. Most terrariums are not completely sealed so carbon dioxide can enter and plants can gain dry matter via photosynthesis. The inventor of the terrarium, Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward (1791-1868), supposedly had a "sealed terrarium" that survived four years but it is questionable if it was completely sealed because of the substantial plant growth he observed. Another attempt at a closed terrarium on a larger scale was the big Arizona greenhouse called Biosphere Two . It was originally supposed to be a sealed terrarium for two years containing several people, many animals and all sorts of plants. However, it got out of balance, and they had to add more oxygen because the amount of photosynthesis was less than required to supply adequate oxygen to all the animals.

How much water do you put in a terrarium?
The amount of water you put in a terrarium depends on the specific plants in it and their water needs. It's best to add enough water to keep the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. Monitor the terrarium and adjust the watering based on the plant's condition.
Can you put air plants in a terrarium?
Yes, you can put air plants in a terrarium as long as the terrarium has good air circulation and the plants are not overcrowded. Air plants do not require soil to grow and can thrive in a terrarium environment with proper care.
What are some way the water cycle can be observed?
You can build a Terrarium.

Why is it recommended that you put sand or pebbles at the bottom of a terrarium?
It is recommended that you put sand or pebbles at the bottom of a terrarium to allow drainage when watering plants.
How is terrarium done?
You make a terrarium by taking a large jar and then you put soil into it. Then after that, you select the types of plants you would like to use in your terrarium, according to how much sun they should get. You plant them, and you can water them whenever the soil seems dry, or you can put a lid onto of the jar so it's like a self-watering system. Make sure that the jar or container is large enough for the plants you put in it. Good Luck ;)
What do lizard need in their cage?
Lizards need a little cave house, a water bowl, a fake plant in their cage, and a plastic thermometer.
What is the main process by which water vapor is produced in the terrarium?
The main process by which water vapor is produced in a terrarium is through evaporation. This occurs when water from the substrate, plants, or any standing water in the terrarium is heated by sunlight and turns into water vapor, increasing the humidity levels within the enclosed environment.
How to properly water air plants in a terrarium?
To properly water air plants in a terrarium, mist them with water using a spray bottle or soak them in water for about 20-30 minutes once a week. Make sure to let them dry completely before putting them back in the terrarium to prevent rot.
Why do water droplets appear on the inside of a terrarium if the plants have not been watered?
Water droplets form on the inside of a terrarium due to the process of transpiration, where moisture is released by the plants through their leaves. This moisture then condenses on the cooler glass surface of the terrarium, creating the droplets. It is a natural part of the terrarium's ecosystem and helps maintain humidity levels for the plants.
A aquarium with no water and sand is called?
a terrarium empty.
