About This Item
Description
Kits provide an inquiry-based, hands-on approach to teaching a specific science topic through the use of activities and investigative equipment. Delta Science Modules Observing an Aquarium Complete Kit will get your students to build and maintain aquariums that become, over several weeks, diverse underwater ecosystems! Students will be able to observe food chains, how populations change, and how life cycles unfold. One by one, organisms will be introduced into fresh water habitats: two types of aquatic plants, tropical fish, pond snails, algae, and tiny crustaceans called daphnia. Students will examine each one to discover how it is suited to life under water. By the time they take an end-of-unit field trip to a local pond, students will be experienced observers who will recognize meaningful similarities and differences between their classroom aquariums and the natural environment. If needed, there is a replacement prepaid Observing an Aquarium Material Card (sold separately; Item # 270-3690).Along with the kit activities, the Observing an Aquarium Delta Science Reader (and complementary Skillbuilders booklet that helps students practice reading/grammar/writing/vocabulary skills with the content from the Delta Science Reader) will have your students read more about the plants and animals that live in an aquarium. Students will: learn about the life cycle of fish; find out about the different body parts that make fish well adapted to living in water; read about the job of an aquarium scientist; and finally observe different types of water habitats.
