Miniponds
We will be looking at many different types of living organisms. It is important to provide each of them with an appropriate habitat. Some of them are small aquatic organisms. We need to put together a Minipond habitat now so it will be nicely aged and ready in a couple of weeks when it is time to start work with aquatic organisms.
