tidalsculpin Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 My students continue to add material to the wiki. water tests on all three tanks bi-weekly barring snow. One team is filming. Nothing worth watching yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsoz Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I brought almost all living things home for the break because they turn off the heat at school, and I knew I would not be able to make it in to feed over the break. I am slowly returning stuff to the classroom to allow the biofilter to keep up with the bioload. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidalsculpin Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 What are you filming? The kids are making a procedure on calcium testing. A little boring but helpful. I am trying to get one of them to plan out a tank tour, but they need to know a lot to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 That would be pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidalsculpin Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 As the semester is ending soon, things are winding down. I have a lot of kids who now know what salinity is and how to test it. They know that nitrates are bad. They know that those "things" are corals and that they are kinda like animals, but kinda like plants.My chemistry kids have figured out that there are ions floating around in the water. Pretty cool!!! Some kids keep asking questions. Some are ready to move on to foods class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsoz Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 oops...can I remove it? At the bottom of the post there is a button that says "edit." One of the options is "delete." Use it if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JManrow Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The Wiki site is looking great Joel. I am working on tours of both Hatfield Marine Science Center and Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport. These "behind-the-scenes" tours are tentatively scheduled for April, either on the 18th or the 25th. We definitely have the HMSC set... I am still waiting on OCAQ to respond. I will let you know more on this as things become finalized. I'm sure many students would be interested in attending this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-ed Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I'm back! I haven't been on much and certainly haven't been keeping you all posted on my TFT status. My apologies! First, the snow shut down school, then I had to replan lessons, then finals came along... Things are going great with the tank! I got two clowns from dave, set up the variety of corals I got from Kris and Dennis, and have had a couple of students who manage the water changes and such. The tank is a huge hit with students and staff alike. For those last few moments before the bell rings, students like to gather around the tank and argue over names for everything (who the heck actually names a hermit crab or snail?!?!). One of the students who has been working on the tank for his careers project did a presentation on it for a panel of adults as part of his credit. Twas' a proud moment! I have a bad habit of leaving my camera at school full of tank pictures. My school "computer" doesn't recognize modern technology such as photographs, so I need to bring it home to share some pictures of how it all looks. Thanks again!
