Day 2 Blog



My day at camp!

First, we found out which kind of fish that we received through chemical testing. Then we had a fire drill. Wee what fun! Next we worked on our fish tank, it was very exciting. Then we ate lunch, it was YUMMY. When we came in the classroom we found out that a big fish ate an anchovy,so amazing! We also stuffed our sharks and are ready to paint tomorrow! So as you can see we had a interesting day…

What we did today in camp

We did lots of things today.

We

  • Made fish tanks
  • Did chemical stuff to see if the water is safe.
  • Made sharks and learned about them
  • We learned that almost every shark species has different teeth.
  • Different sharks make different marks in there prey.
  • We played games to see what eats what in Odell lake.

We also took pictures and they are…

    what we did at camp this week!

    The first day we learned about sharks, and we talked about the spiny dogfish. Then we got nametag/masks. We also did an opening about camp. Then we talked about zoo plankton and how they float in the sea. We made our own zooplankton and had 2 competitions.  We lost to a cotton swab :( .We were in a team and won in the 2nd competition with a cotton swab, pipe cleaner and a tooth pick.

    Next, we filled an aquarium with water and salt we used a hydrometer to measure salt then we put fake plants and rocks.



    The Second Day of Camp

    Today, we took pictures of what we did today. We tested chemicals.

    Our Second day of camp

    We walked in, sat , and put away lunches. Then, we finished putting water in our tanks. We had to identify fish. We put filters and light fixtures in our tanks. Sadly, a fish died today at lunch because it was eaten by another fish. We got to see the Food Chain we were talking about with Odell Lake ourselves.  :)

    We worked with bacteria. We also stuffed sharks.

    Dear journal,

    Day two at Marine Biology was great. Today we got to finish building our fish tanks, to do that we had to check to make sure that it was not to to toxic for our fish to live in.

    Group 1 005

    This is when we had to measure the salinity in our fish tank to make sure our fish can survive in the water and tank that my group has created over the past two days.

    Group 1 003

    This is one, of a lot of chemicals, that my group had to use to test our fish tank to make sure our fish can live in the water that my group and I created.

    Group 1 001

    This is my fish tank that my group and I created.

    So , Marine Biology has been so fun in so many ways. I look forward to adding two fishes to my group and I’s fish tank that we created.

    Thanks for reading!!!!


    Our Day At Camp

    Today when we came to Marine camp we tested our water in the fish tank to make sure it is safe for the fish. When that was over we installed our filters and lights. Then at 12:00 we ate a well earned lunch. Then we came here to the computer lab to write our blogs. Then when we finished our blog we our blog we went to the art room to make our stuffed sharks( which were totally awesome ). Then we went to dismissal where we were sent home.

    Our blog

    Today we set up a fish tank and tested the water quality using chemicals to test nitrate, nitrite, ammonia and pH. Here is one of the chemicals we used:

    We also cleaned the water filter and put the light in on the fish tank.These are our fish tanks that we worked on:

    We also will go work on our stuffed sharks made of brown paper that are stuffed with news paper. Yesterday we played a game called odell lake on the computer. The game taught us the food chain in the ocean and tells us what eats what.

    That is all that we have done in our first to days of camp.


    My Second Day at Camp

    First we tested the PH level and the Nitrite. We also put the light on the fish tank and we cleaned the filter and put it in our tank. Also we put geneisis in the water.

    Day 2

    Today, we finished building our fish tanks. We put in rocks, stems, a pot, water, filters, and lights and genesis.

    Tomorrow, we will get our fish to put in the tank. They are called mollys we well get a boy and a girl.
