| The Process |
|
| |
|
- In order to complete this task you will be assigned
to groups of three in which each of you will play a specific role in
gathering information.
- You will all work together as biologists
to decide on the types and number of fish to put in your tank and then
decide among yourselves who will assume each specialist role.
- Specialist Roles
In order to provide a well thought out and
livable habitat for your new pets you will need a:
|
|
- Nutritionist
- to determine the food needs of the fish and provide feeding suggestions
for each animal.
|
|
- Water
Chemist - to work with the biologist and waste remediation specialist
to provide an appropriate watery environment for the fish.
|
|
|
|
|
- Once the three of you have determined what animals
will be housed in your aquarium, each person will assume one of the
specialist roles and complete the assigned tasks. Remember to actively
communicate with one another while completing your tasks as there may
be some information that needs to be shared.
- Be sure that you keep notes
as you conduct your research so that you can report to the other scientists
and justify your decisions. Use the worksheets provided for each specialist
on the Resources page.

Biologist Activities (Group)

- Brainstorm and come up with a list of at least
five potential issues that will be determining factors in which fish
you choose (use the worksheet on the Resources
page). An example issue: Will it fit in the tank when full grown?
Use the links below determine an appropriate mix of fish to live in
your aquarium. In any aquatic environment there are fish that live near
the surface, some on the bottom and some that roam freely. Choose
at least one species that inhabits each of these areas.
- Once you have decided on a group of compatible
fish each member of the group will assume one of the specialist roles.
