Students will learn how to approach an aquarium DIY project, how to be safe using DIY tools and equipment, and how easily filters, pumps, sumps, waterfalls, overflows, and other aquarium supplies can be made.

I am the Vice President of the Raleigh Aquarium Society, a public school teacher and a retired marine biologist.  Living on a biologist salary, and now on a teacher's salary and having a fairly expensive hobby in fishkeeping, I have found ways to adapt, build and create new tools to keep my pets happy and healthy.

宿題が提供されます
Students are encouraged to begin and continue a DIY project for their aquarium or create a plan for one if they do not currently own one.  Students will be working independently although siblings or friends might choose to work together if time and availability allow it.  This class requires that students are able to read and process basic instructional plans.

評価が提供されます
Project designs and plans will be turned in to the teacher: These will be turned in to the teacher and students will receive detailed feedback on 1) How healthy their choice of materials are for the fish, 2) How much can be saved in money and resources to build your own, and 3) How effective is the build.
