My Favorite Activities

We were split into different groups, in those groups, we made fish tanks. There were 2 classes, the blue and the green. I was in the green. In the fish tanks we put a filter, a light, rocks, a small pot, plants. The fish we are putting in are a certain type of fish called cichlids.  I liked making friends, now I have quite a few. My teachers rock!

Make a Fish Tank and Filter

My favorite thing I did today was decorating a fish tank and cleaning up the filter.

First, I decorated the fish tank with fake plants, a pot, and rocks.

The hard part was I had to make cave and pour the water slowly(so heavy!!!).

The filter was so awesome and cool.

We cleaned it and the process of cleaning water was cool.

It was so neat when it starts moving.

Aquahavens Blog

When we got to Aquahavens, our group started off by doing a warm up that included food coloring in a many holed dish into a another hole. The things that water does is amazing! After that  we tested for toxic chemicals in our group fish tank. Tomorrow we get fish! Afterwards, we had lunch. When we had eaten, we then went to art. In art, we made sea creature stamps out of foam. It was very fun! and then we had technology and then we went home.

Many, Many Fish

Today was our first day. Today, we…

  • made a fish tank
  • made colored chemicals

Our favorite part was when we first got here because there was food coloring and we got to make our colored chemicals. We learned that food coloring is a poison.

Fish Tanks

We created tanks in camp today, and everyone split into groups of two, three, or four. When we arrived at the tank, there was just a lot of sediment bunched together along the side, that we had to even out. Then we got to decorate the tank with a pot, some plants, and some rocks to make caves for the cichlids. We added water with genesis that would get rid of the chlorine and helps them produce the slimy, protective coat that fish have. To finish the fish tank off, we added a light and a filter. Tomorrow, we will catch the fish and put them in their new habitat.

Today we learned how to measure pH levels. We also made a fish tank. First we put rocks in the tank and then we put some plants in. Then before we put the filter in we had to clean it :)   


Making a Fish Tank

 Today we made fish tank in our classroom. We got fresh water, we put some plants and rocks and one flower pot. The flower pot is for the fish to hide and they get to swim wherever they want. We get cichlids. I liked the part that we get to build our tank.
