Project Goal

Teaching students about Marine environments in Florida by using one of the most influential parts of Florida Marine life:sea grass beds. I want to start early this year to make this an ongoing science fair project but also use in the classroom when we begin to talk about biology in Florida and human impact. 

 

How Project Benefits Students

This project will be tangible for students because most students know what sea grass is but they will be able to see the close details and organisms that exist within a sea grass bed. Students will also be able to see how human have impacted these natural environments and the havoc that becomes in this quiet place where baby organisms claim sanctuary.  

 

Expected Outcome(s)

Students will learn about the scientific method, learn how to care for a marine tank environment, a set a students will use these tanks over the year for science fair, and the students will have the tanks included in their biology curriculum.  

 

Detailed Cost Summary

I have 3 65 gallon tanks in my room with no parts to them to host sea grass. The light intensity they need can only be supplied by LED's and with the water at a lower level a pump using tubes would be a better option. Since you cannot take seagrass out of the bay you would need to order a starter set.
