Shrimply the Best

Help me give my students a shrimp aquarium habit to investigate and enjoy.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Birmingham's classroom raised $229

My Project

Do you remember what it was like the first time you observed a different animal? My students will be learning about a variety of different habitats and many of the species that live there. With the aquarium they will be able to learn about two different species of shrimp. They will be able to observe their feeding habits and their role in the ecosystem.

Many of my students have not had the opportunity to learn about the different species in the wild and this will be a great chance for them to study different organisms and habitats that they might not otherwise be familiar with.

My environmental science students are very curious and want to learn about the world around them. I might even have a future group of scientists sitting in my room.
