My Project

Our middle school students are busy discovering concepts for themselves through observation and discussion of activities with their lab groups. Students in my aquatic studies class need preserved oysters to dissect during our mollusk unit. One of the heaters in a coral growout tank corroded badly (fortunately, there was no fire or serious contamination of the water!) so we need a replacement. Sediment filters are needed for our reverse osmosis and deionization water system which produces purified water for the reef tanks students care for as well as for mixing chemical solutions.

Chemistry is a favorite discipline of many young teens!

We have run out of two chemicals needed for labs. Also, to bring inquiry and explaining home, my students need litmus paper for testing substances around the house. Lastly, we celebrate birthdays with science gadgets and a little bag of candies, and we will need more of the Starbursts in the upcoming months of scientific exploration!
