Open new terminal with bash script and use it

Question

I would like to run a python script multiple times in a new terminal each time so I am making a bash script to do this.

#!/bin/bash

alias bot_1="cd ../Folder1"
alias bot_2="cd ../Folder2"

gnome-terminal
bot_1
python3 bot_one.py

gnome-terminal
bot_2
python3 bot_two.py

I would like to run a python script multiple times in a new terminal each time so I am making a bash script to do this.

With my script I have a new terminal which opens but the following commands are executed in the old and not the new

gnome-terminal opens a new terminal with its own shell; the execution of the current shell does not transfer to the new terminal window. (Also, alias expansion is not enabled by default in a non-interactive shell.) — chepner

gnome-terminal has the ability to execute a command other than the default interactive shell.

gnome-terminal --working-directory ../Folder1 -- python3 bot_one.py
gnome-terminal --working-directory ../Folder2 -- python3 bot_two.py
