Joseph tests the water

James showed Joseph how to test the water.  We had a malfunction with the pump yesterday which explains why the ammonia level had gone up again. Joseph and James changed half the water.  

Salmon Update

Today James taught Emily how to test the water. Looks good today!

James: Salmon Inspector

James was the first student in Room 6 to test the water in the tank.

First he washed his hands with tap water only and measured exactly 5ml of tank water. 

Next he carefully added 7 drops of each reagent, put the lid on the tube and mixed it. After 5 minutes James read the test and the amount of ammonia was too high. 

So we changed half of the water.
