[APD] Middle School Fish Club

[Caleb <calebcheung at sbcglobal_net>]

Hi Everyone,

As a middle school science teacher, I have always shared my hobby of 
fish, plants, and aquariums with my students by maintaining tanks in my 
classroom and teaching a short unit on habitats.  This school year in 
particular, a lot of my students have expressed interest in learning 
more than my curriculum provides and starting their own tanks at home.  
I've been thinking about starting an after school fish club that would 
meet regularly to learn about the basics of planted fish tanks.  Of 
course I would share my cuttings and baby fish with them.  Additionally, 
we may start breeding projects for certain species of interest to my 
students.  However, working in an urban school has its own set of unique 
challenges.  Resources are limited.

I'm curious to hear if there is anyone else out there that has done 
something similar or has assisted with a project like what I am 
proposing.  I would love to find out the details of how the club 
functioned and what types of things you did.  Maybe we can exchange 
notes in the future.   Thanks!
