Students will craft curious and open-ended questions about the interactions among Earth's biosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere as they explore terrarium models and hypothesize potential life conditions on other planets, setting the stage for a deeper investigation in subsequent phases.

Students will engage in hands-on research using terrariums and community garden visits to gather data on biosphere interactions, consult with an astrophysicist, and compile their findings to inform models for potential life on other planets.

Students will collaboratively construct detailed models and multimedia presentations that synthesize their research findings, illustrating the interactions among Earth's biosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere and exploring the potential for life on other planets, thus laying the groundwork for their later presentations and critiques.

Students will present their terrarium models to peers and community partners, facilitating discussions to deepen understanding of biosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere interactions, while gathering feedback for reflecting on and enhancing their interpretations.

Students will engage in a peer-review session over multimedia presentations to receive feedback, reflect on their models of potential planetary life, and develop new inquiries to further explore ecosystem interactions as they consider ways to improve their work.

Students will apply their understanding of biosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere interactions by engaging with a community garden, conducting hands-on experiments, and collaborating on creating multimedia presentations that visualize their findings, preparing for the 'Planetary Possibilities Poster Night' exhibition.
