Hello,
Today we were very lucky to have Marissa from the Science Centre in to check the progress of our trout eggs. We have now hatched all of our trout eggs into Alevins.
Marissa praised our class for doing so well with our care, dedication and responsbility for our class pets! We have been monitoring the water temperature 4 times a day, checking the water level is above the pump and checking that our tank is clean for the Alevins to grow.
We connected a USB microscope to view the Alevins up close! The Alevins were safely collected into a petri dish and viewed under the magnification lens. We could see the blood veins and the mouth of the Alevin opening and closing. Some of our Alevins were very fast swimmers, zooming around on the screen.
It was awesome. Congrats again p5b we are super scientists. (see photo below)
