Science with 5th Graders: Building an Aquarium
We visited a classroom at a neighboring school and worked with a group of students to construct a terrarium. Returning a week later, we finished our ecosystems by building an aquarium and attaching the two habitats. Students reviewed the characteristics of an ecosystem, raised questions about how the ecosystem functions, and recorded observations of plant life. With responsibilities assigned to each student, they worked together to construct a functioning aquarium. |
