EcoSphere explorer: create your own terrarium lab!

Welcome to the ultimate ecosystem adventure where students become environmental scientists and ecosystem architects! This incredible terrarium kit transforms learning about biomes, climate systems, and environmental science into an engaging hands-on experience that's part science lab, part creative playground.

Students will dive deep into understanding ecosystems, explore different biomes around the world, investigate climate patterns and climate change impacts, while mastering temperature measurement and data recording techniques. The real beauty happens when learners customize their own miniature world by filling their terrariums with living plants, fascinating rocks, water features, and even tiny critters to create thriving micro-ecosystems that bring environmental science to life!

The kit's revolutionary AR technology takes ecosystem exploration to the next level with augmented reality cards that let students populate their terrariums with exotic digital plants and animals from around the globe. Through the interactive AR experience, young scientists can conduct virtual greenhouse effect experiments, observe how different climates affect various species, and explore environmental scenarios that would be impossible to recreate in a traditional classroom setting.

This comprehensive classroom pack includes 24 complete kits with detailed directions and 5 standards-aligned lessons, making it perfect for full classroom implementation while ensuring every student gets their own ecosystem laboratory to nurture and study.

Key Features:

  • Living Ecosystem Creation: Students build real terrariums with plants, rocks, water, and critters
  • Climate Science Mastery: Explores ecosystems, biomes, climate patterns, and climate change impacts
  • Temperature Data Collection: Hands-on measurement and recording of environmental conditions
