Squeaks and I are making a tiny world!

With just a few plants and some soil, we're going to make a small garden that can take care of itself.

It's called a terrarium.

The kind of terrarium we're making is a closed terrarium, which means it's covered and you don't need to water it.

Plants need soil, sunlight, and water to live.

The plants in a terrarium have soil, and the container is clear so sunlight gets to them.

But how do plants in a closed terrarium live The plants in a closed terrarium get water because of the water cycle.

When it rains outside, a lot of the water goes into puddles, rivers, lakes, and the oceans.

Then the sun warms up some of that water, and it changes into what's called water vapor.

The water we see in rivers, lakes, and oceans is a liquid.

But water vapor is a gas, like the air we breathe.

You can't see water when it's vapor, but it's still there.

Once the liquid water changes into water vapor, it rises up into the sky.

and the water vapor turns back into a liquid.

The little droplets of water gather into clouds.

And when there's a lot of water in a cloud, it falls back to the ground as rain.

And then the cycle starts all over again.

The same thing is going to happen in our terrarium, but on a smaller scale.

The sun will warm up the water in the terrarium, but when it turns into water vapor, the vapor will stay inside the container.

Then when it cools down a little, the water vapor will turn back into a liquid.

You might see the water dripping down the sides of the container as it falls back down to the soil, like a tiny version of a rain shower.

The cycle starts all over again.

So that's how the plants in our terrarium will get water: the water cycle.

You're right, Squeaks!

We can talk about it all day, but let's get to building it so we can see it with our own eyes.

Here's what you'll need for your terrarium.

First, you'll need a clear container.

It has to be clear to let the sun in.

We're going to use this big glass jar, but you can also use a clean 2 -liter soda bottle, or an empty fish tank, or whatever you want.

You should also get some plants, of course.

You'll want to use plants that like an environment with lots of water vapor in the air.

ferns or mosses are good for that.

And you might need to have a grown -up buy these at a store.

You should get some good potting soil, too.

You'll also need some small rocks and a little bit of charcoal.

They'll help the water stay clean.

Finally, you can also get some small decorations if you want.

Okay, if you're using a plastic bottle, the first thing you should do is cut the top off.

Ask a grown -up for help with this part.

Next, wash whatever container you're using with soap and water, and then dry it with a clean towel.

Now that your container is ready, you can start constructing your tiny world.

First, you should put about two to two and a half centimeters of little rocks at the bottom.

This helps the water drain out of the soil, so it's easier for it to turn into water vapor.

On top of that, add a layer of charcoal, about one and a half centimeters deep.

The charcoal is optional, but if you want your terrarium to last a long time, it's a good idea because it'll keep the water clean, and clean water makes healthier plants.

Next, fill about half your container with soil.

And now it's time for the plants!

Decide how you want to arrange them, and dig small holes with your fingers for the plants.

Then gently put the plants in the soil.

Spread some soil over the roots, and carefully pat down the soil so the plants are secure and won't fall over.

If you have decorations for your little world, now's a good time to put those in.

And now that it looks all awesome, lightly water the plants to get the water cycle started.

And now it's time to close up the terrarium.

If you're using a bottle, tape the top back on.

We have a lid.

And now all we have to do is put it where there's lots of light,

but it won't be directly put in the terrarium will be soaked up by the plant's roots and the soil,

but eventually, the sun will warm it up and turn it into water vapor.

Then, when the water vapor gets a little cooler, it'll turn back into liquid water.

That's when you'll probably see it sliding down the sides of the container to water the soil and roots again.

Keep an eye on your terrarium for the first few weeks and months, as the plants adjust to their new space and water cycle.

You might need to open it up and add a little more water, or move it to where there's more or less light.

Once you establish a good spot and little world, it'll take care of itself!

Terrariums can last for a really long time!

Squeaks and I read about one that hasn't needed fresh water in more than 40 years!

Have fun planting your terrarium and creating your own water cycle, and let us know how it turns out!

Ask a grown -up to help you leave a comment down below, or send us an email to kids @scishow .com!

Thanks, and we'll see you next time, here at the Fort!

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
