Overview

Students study the biogeochemical cycles at work in a miniature aquatic ecosystem. They set up a gallon aquarium, then—each week—measure water loss, temperature, and levels of pH, nitrite/nitrate, phosphate, and hydrogen sulfide. They also observe and record changes in biodiversity weekly. After 2 weeks, students design and implement an experiment to manipulate a parameter of the ecosystem and, in the following weeks, observe its effects on the system.

This kit is designed for 1 group of 4 students. Digital teacher's manual, included FREE with kit purchase, is a 12-month eBook license to the Biogeochemical Cycles Teacher's Manual and Student Guide. Note: Kit includes a prepaid coupon to request perishables later at your convenience. Contact Carolina or return the coupon to request delivery of perishable materials. Restricted states will be shipped Elodea canadensis, Elodea najas, or Chara, depending on availability. Canadian customers must apply for a Canadian Department of Agriculture permit.
