Build a Terrarium

Visit Spark!Lab Smithsonian to design a mini ecosystem. Learn about the balance of nature when you assemble layers of rocks, soil, plants, and decorations. Through guided instruction, visitors will understand how these elements interact to create a sustainable environment within a closed container.

Please note: Spark!Lab offers access to tools and materials that can cause injury if used improperly. Parents are encouraged to help young inventors use the tools and materials safely in this space.
