As part of their IB Diploma Programme Biology unit, students investigated the principles of ecosystem balance and sustainability by constructing closed terrariums.
Using layers of soil, rocks, and selected plant species, they replicated the conditions necessary for life within a self-contained system. This practical activity allowed students to observe the interactions between biotic and abiotic factors and to understand the delicate equilibrium required to maintain a functioning ecosystem.
Such experiential learning not only reinforces theoretical knowledge but also develops research, collaboration, and inquiry skills central to the IB approach. 🌿
