Aquatic Studies and 8th grade science students have been using pencils and the awesome colored pencil sharpener daily. From sketching corals and aquarium creatures to annotating notes and graphs, students use these supplies often. The dry erase markers have already been used to trace routes around water on inflatable globes to notice that all of Earth's named oceans are connected, as well as connecting how graphs generated by motion sensors and a graphical analysis tool reflect different types of motion. This is a much more effective way for students to build conceptual understanding of aspects of speed, acceleration, and direction of travel than me having them copy down some notes right away.\r\n\r\nKleenex and cleaning wipes are used daily with over 200 students spending time in my classroom. The unobtrusive and chemical-free plug-in insect sticky traps keep tiny flying bugs out of our hissing cockroach and walking stick bug terrariums as well as our countertop hydroponic plant system. Tape is used frequently in lab activities, and laminating pouches provide seat tags on student tables, reusable lab directions and color-printed graphs, and aquarium test kit color scales.\r\n\r\nThese everyday materials make the school day run smoothly, allow me to use our class time efficiently, and provide materials students need to record their daily observations and findings.

The difference in the population and massive size of our walking stick bugs is amazing! Back in May, students reset their habitat, along with that of our Madagascar hissing cockroaches. With the new substrates and excited student caretakers, these creatures are thriving and attracting a lot of student attention. \r\n\r\nThe drill has been used to create holes in reef rubble and shells as part of one method of growing out coral cuttings. This works well for gorgonians and certain stony and leather coral species. Since the Aquatic Studies elective class has been changed from semester-long to yearlong, students will have more experience in propagating corals and having enough time to observe their growth.\r\n\r\nWe are still deciding on the aquascape and final setup of our renovated 40-gallon coral growout tank. Last spring students cleaned and reinoculated 25-year-old reef rock from Fiji and Tonga. They put them in a tank with a new style of pump - the gyre - which creates an interesting wide sheet of water that circulates across the tank and back. Students are getting started on placing coral fragments they will grow out all year. Due to breakage of our chopsaw safety guard, we did not cut the metal framing for screen covers we will need when we add fish to our systems this year. We are also trying out different placement of lights over our growout tank and methods of attaching screen covers to an unusual tank with sides of different heights before cutting the stock for that tank. We are excited to use the fine 1/8\" plastic netting since some community members we trade corals with have had issues with small fish jumping out through standard 1/4\" mesh.\r\n\r\nAs you can see, the materials from this project have given students several hands-on work with animal habitats, and more of this is still to come!

As a PE teacher and department chair, I cannot overstate how much this equipment means to our students.\r\n\r\nWhen we submitted our DonorsChoose request, our school was down to only a few (literally 2-3) usable balls for our students. With hundreds of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students sharing the equipment, we were constantly trying to make the most of very limited resources. Your generosity has changed that.\r\n\r\nNow, our students have enough equipment to actively participate, practice skills, play games, and—most importantly—play together.\r\n\r\nThese balls are used every day by students in all three grade levels during PE classes as they learn and develop skills in soccer, basketball, volleyball, and other activities. Having enough equipment means more students are moving at the same time, spending less time waiting for a turn, and getting more opportunities to practice, improve, and experience success.\r\n\r\nBut the impact goes far beyond PE class.\r\n\r\nOur students also use the equipment during lunch and brunch breaks, giving them a positive way to be active, connect with friends, and build relationships through play. I see students organizing their own games, inviting others to join, learning to work together, resolving disagreements, encouraging one another, and practicing good sportsmanship. A simple soccer ball, basketball, or volleyball becomes a way for students to connect with people they might not otherwise interact with.\r\n\r\nAs a middle school PE teacher, some of my favorite moments happen when I see students cheering for one another, helping a fellow student with a new skill, including someone who is standing on the sidelines, or high fiving after a competitive game. These are important life skills that cannot always be taught from a textbook. They are learned through movement, teamwork, cooperation, perseverance, and play.\r\n\r\nYour donation has helped us create more opportunities for all of these experiences.\r\n\r\nYou have given our students more than just new equipment. You have given them opportunities to move, compete, cooperate, socialize, build confidence, and belong. You have helped create a more active and connected school community.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of our entire Physical Education Department—and especially on behalf of our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students—thank you for investing in our kids.

The day the thin, stiff cleaning brushes arrived, students took them for a spin cleaning the top frames of our two clownfish and anemone tanks, as well as the new creature quarantine tank. Many aquariums have black ridged trim around the top edge of the glass, meant to have an accompanying top lid sit in the ridge. Tanks that house corals or anemones need much stronger lighting than generally is found in a lid, plus they need air flow for cooling and to maintain stable pH. Since saltwater is constantly touching or dripping onto the trim - always when students clean or work in the tanks - the water evaporates and leaves behind the white salt. It looks a mess and, more importantly, it causes a great deal of \"salt creep\" which can extend down the entire outer wall of the tank and travel up electrical cords. It is annoying to have salt all over the tank and counters, and a towel does little to remove the salt from the ridges of the trim. The stiff brush works perfectly, goes around rounded and square corners, and if students fling off salt that dries in the ridges, they can wipe or vacuum it up with a dustbuster! (This is only salt from the counter; students have discovered what happens when they think it is a good idea to directly vacuum the top trim - yikes! Saltwater is not dust.)\r\n\r\nThe clownfish, shrimp, and even some baby corals are enjoying the new dried food, as I had hoped from hearing its reputation. Most interesting is that our feather duster tube worm opens up and filters particles of this food out of the water column with its brown and white feather-like fan! We have started adding some of this to the dry mixture in the automatic feeders that dispense food pellets multiple times per day to the clownfish and other creatures during weekends and school breaks.\r\n\r\nThe star of this project is the gyre pump! I really think this piece of equipment is going to lead our renovated coral propagation tank to success this coming fall! In this case, the gyre wave pattern created by this baton-shaped pump is not a whirlpool, but more like laminar flow that travels across the top of the tank then curves back around. It is pretty amazing. The gyre pump made its debut and became a fad maybe ten years ago - very expensive and I think poorly understood and applied by many reefkeepers. After finding some informative simulations using fluorescent dye or fine bubbles, I better understand the gyre pump's function and effects! I had no idea how it serves to deliver and sustain food near coral polyps (where the mouths are), prevent dead flow spots in a tank, keep detritus from building up on the bottom, and increases photosynthesis in the microalgae that live within coral tissue! Also, I learned their seeming high price is countered by the fact that a gyre pump is basically TWO traditional powerheads. It can be mounted horizontally or vertically, to create different flow patterns. Generally, a reef tank needs multiple powerheads to circulate water around reef rock formations, not pummel corals, fish and invertebrates, prevent dead spots of little oxygen, distribute food and heat, keep the sandbed from become oxygen-deprived and covered with detritus, and meet the needs of both corals who require strong direct flow to survive, as well as ones whose polyps would be ripped off the skeleton by strong water flow. This is a tall order of requirements, but many people prefer a \"mixed reef\" of different types of corals for enjoyment in their small box of ocean. Corals in nature live in very different ocean conditions, but the ocean is massive, while aquariums are comparatively microsized.\r\n\r\nClearly, you can see this gyre pump has presented me with a steep and wide learning curve (not unlike the motion it produces) and lots of experimentation in the coming school year. The photos show the current state of our \"lowboy\" coral growout tank (supposed to be for turtles). Although I would enjoy doing everything myself, I am waiting for the new school year to have aquatic studies students aquascape the tank (arrange the rocks), and mount many small coral fragments on the rocks and get rid of the plastic egg crate \"frag racks\" that are very popular in the hobby but very unnatural. I am so grateful for the opportunity to set up this tank again with gyre pumps and hope to test and plan it out over the short summer break so it will be ready for students to \"dive into\" in August!","fullyFundedDate":1776138988066,"projectUrl":"project/flow-and-food-for-fish-friends/10189938/","projectTitle":"Flow and Food for Fish Friends","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Horne","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp470517_orig.png?crop=275,275,x0,y23&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1566689341670","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/horne"},{"teacherId":470517,"projectId":10201250,"letterContent":"Thank you for your help in making science classes full of relevant activities for my students!

The creeks are adjacent to neighborhood backyard fences so we capture images of lots of cats, various birds, squirrels, rats, and the occasional fox, raccoon, skunk, and opossum.\r\n\r\nThe diffraction glasses, Starburst candies, colored paper, and baggies were used to celebrate student birthdays. It was obvious that my students appreciated the recognition of their birthdays. We study a bit about the physics of light and color and use diffraction in one of our lab activities. With their take-home glasses they reinforce the concepts every time they explain to others what is going on with light, as seen through the glasses! Most of my students became 14 years old during 8th grade and they liked the moment of personal attention and my remark that they will be celebrating their next birthday as a high schooler. I often overhear their lab partners wishing them a happy birthday and adding they can't wait until their birthday to receive their treats and glasses.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, small things like these items that have a noticeable impact are possible.

We changed out all of the media and resins that were depleted in our crazy multi-stage system that purifies tap water. Some students finished testing the decades-old used reef tank rock they had been soaking to remove built up phosphate and other compounds. They replaced the heater that \"sizzled\" and \"made a weird smell\" one day during science class when I was in another classroom giving the state test. They did their last round of water testing and cleaning of all the tanks. At school they used citric acid to soak and clean calcium and mineral buildup on some equipment. My backyard currently has a soaking station set up for my goal of cleaning all old and donated random equipment. For the most part, we are going to stick to a couple of brands of pumps and trade used equipment with other reefkeepers to simplify operation and have replacement parts on hand.\r\n\r\n8th grade science ended on a very high note with the weeks-long observation and scientific sketching of the life cycles of painted lady butterflies and hornworm moths!

It involves using a pump to transfer pre-heated filtered fresh water into a 32-gallon garbage can, estimating the volume of fresh water, calculating the amount of salt mix to add, weighing out the salt, setting a pump to mix it, and protecting the remaining salt mix from moisture in the air. Then, students use a tool called a refractometer to measure and adjust the salinity multiple times until it is the same as that of the ocean - 35 parts per thousand. They also have to be sure we have additional garbage cans of salt water and fresh water ready as emergency reserves in case a tank gets contaminated or the like.\r\n\r\nAfter eleven years, we are in the process of making some equipment changes on our largest tank system, ~130 gallons, including the heaters with a new backup device. Heaters are the main pieces of equipment that fail (on or off) on aquariums, which is why we use multiple smaller heaters instead of one large heater. The new heater controller will serve us well and will also integrate with our new aquacontroller (aquarium computer) to send notifications of changes in temperature or power usage, which indicate heater malfunction.\r\n\r\nStudents have been using the new tubs in many ways.

Guess what? Almost all of the new novels have been taken home for reading over vacation, plus the older ones I added! Dystopian literature is topping the list, as usual, with the entire Hunger Games series (in three languages) including the latest novel that lots of kids want to read before the movie comes out, and Life As We Knew It being snapped up. We recently watched the movie Hidden Figures which brought up great conversations around math, astronomy, computers, women in science, and a surprising lack of awareness of the history of segregation in our nation. Students checked out all copies of both the standard and young reader editions I now have! With our recent discussions about the Artemis II mission and the movie Project Hail Mary, those books were scooped up, along with a dozen copies of The Martian, which I think none of the students are familiar with. Before Covid changed our curriculum, The Martian (classroom edition) was our 8th grade-wide science novel. I wish we could bring back that novel study. The science department was pleased to hear that we already have secured next year's subscriptions to Science World magazine. We are rocking the schoolwide initiative to increase student literacy and nonfiction text skills thanks to this awesome publication!\r\n\r\nIn addition to the reading material, some of the general supplies have already been put to use. The small pencils were used by many students on last week's field trip to the Exploratorium, an outstanding hands-on science museum in San Francisco, where I have spent a lot of time learning great methods from scientists and colleagues as well as mentoring new and early-career teachers through its awesome Teacher Institute. (As an aside, I was also detained once by public transit police when they were alerted by a fellow train rider to the suspicious electrical device I was transporting, which was a cool laser machine I made in the museum workshop - haha!) With those new little pencils and a work packet, students stayed busy, focused, and having fun investigating the museum exhibits while going around independently with friends.
