If you've read some of my posts, you'll know that I'm a proponent of inquiry-based instruction. My kids are going to start in the fall with some open-ended experiments. Glencoe's Inquiry Labs (Experiment 10) experiments with the ideal conditions for raising tadpoles. Hmm. I had been considering doing Bottle Biology. So, can two liter bottles be adapted for tadpole aquariums? Yes! So, our first long-term lab is raising tadpoles. What is the optimal temperature? Type of food? pH? There's a creek behind the church to release them later.
Bottle Biology is my original idea for a long-term ecology study. I had emailed the students late last spring to see if they liked the idea--and they did! We may do both!
