This
activity
allows
students
to
explore
the
growth
of
plants
and
the
care
required
for
plant
survival
in
an
indoor
setting.
Students
will
research
the
characteristics
of
plants,
and
gather
information
about
soil,
nutrients,
temperature,
light,
and
water
in
order
to
set
up
an
environment
that
will
help
the
plants
grow
the
quickest.

Students
participate
in
an
activity
to
learn
about
fish
and
how
they
survive
in
an
aquarium
environment.
Assuming
the
roles
of
fish
biologist,
aquarium
architect,
and
zookeeper,
they
will
research
the
classification
and
anatomy
of
fish
and
identify
species
suitable
for
an
aquarium
environment,
as
well
as
learning
about
the
set-up
and
care
of
an
aquarium.
Each
individual

This
site
is
a
portion
of
a
larger
program
in
which
users
construct
a
world
and
the
life
that
inhabits
it.
Marine
botany
is
the
subject
of
this
site,
and
users
are
instructed
on
how
they
can
'evolve'
their
own
plant
species
to
meet
the
characteristics
of
specific
marine
environments.
Although
the
goal
of
this
activity
is
to
create
imaginary
species,
it
is
based
on
having
the
user
develop

various
web
sites
(links
are
provided)
to
collect
information
about
icebergs,
discuss
what
icebergs
are
