Terrarium Design Worksheet

This document provides instructions for designing terrariums to test factors that affect plant growth. Students are asked to design one terrarium that either increases or decreases growth speed by changing one independent variable, keeping other variables the same, and measuring a dependent variable. They list materials and state a hypothesis about how the independent variable will impact the dependent variable. For more advanced students, the task is to design two terrariums with opposing effects and test more variables.
