THE ART LAB LIVING HABITAT WALL FULLY FUNDED (~$4,000!)
BRAVO Critter Club, community supporters and good friends...
We will have a living wall habitat for students to study, steward and sculpt for years to come...We will be designing living habitats for salt, brackish and freshwater fish, amphibians, insects and invertebrates. We are planning tree frog observation, guppy breeding, an ant/axolotl vivarium and a Ryukyu Islands coral reef reconstruction.
These aquatic ecosystems will be great observation and study centers for all Waters' students. We will be using these real-world microcosms in unending ways----from simple living observational models to constructs in order to learn simple electrical circuitry in a fun and new way!
Thank you for your support of this one-of-a-kind opportunity for student choice, voice and identity!
