My Project

We have three fish tanks in our windows and a bunch of fish in them. The students care for them and each science class/period is responsible for one of the tanks. We tend to run out of supplies and need to sort out how to keep the fish alive over the summer.

Fish Tank Supplies will allow our fish tanks to keep happy and healthy fishies in the classroom (it can be a problem).

With your help we can have a stack of stuff including slow release food for weekends and holidays.

Thanks!

Mr. Ellern
Grades 6-8
