My Project
Hello! We have a large 70-gallon tank that is currently overrun with algae and we want to restore it to create a more sustainable ecosystem for our science students to observe. We plan to collect aquatic plants from a nearby creek but we are creating this grant to gain organisms (shrimp, tadpoles) we wouldn't otherwise be able to find locally (at least not in the context of a high school science class.
Help us create a living and changing real-world example of an aquatic ecosystem in our classroom!
Projects like these are so important for student engagement and interest!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
