Biosphere 3

Hey there kiddo! So Biosphere 3 is like a huge science experiment. Scientists wanted to create a big terrarium or greenhouse, like the ones you see in movies or books, except people could actually live in it. The goal was to see if people could support themselves completely inside it, without needing anything from the outside world!

So they built a big glass dome in the Arizona desert, then put in a bunch of plants, animals, and even a little ocean. They called this the Biosphere 3. Now here's the fun part - a group of scientists and engineers actually lived inside it for two whole years! They had to grow their own food, take care of the animals, and recycle everything they used.

But it wasn't easy, kiddo. The people inside the Biosphere 3 had to face a lot of challenges. It got super hot and humid, sometimes too much that they couldn't breathe properly. They also had to learn how to grow food inside without using any pesticides or herbicides, which was really tough! They even had a fight with ants that they couldn't get rid of!

In the end, while the experiment had some successes, they also faced some failures. In the end, the Biosphere 3 taught us a lot about how difficult it is to create a self-sustaining ecosystem, but it also inspired us to take better care of our planet and its limited resources.
