In early years and primary classes the tank is filled with moist soil and a few seeds are planted close to the viewing side, so children can draw the roots and shoots each day and notice that roots grow downwards whichever way the seed was placed. Later the same tank can become a wormery with layers of soil and sand, letting pupils watch earthworms mix the layers, or an ant habitat for observing tunnelling. Each set-up practises the same core skill — careful, repeated observation recorded in a notebook.
Set up as a small aquarium, it can hold pond water with aquatic plants and small invertebrates for lessons on habitats and food chains. Keep the tank out of direct sunlight, return living animals to their habitat after the study, and wash the tank between projects. Adding the 12" Expansion Kit widens the range of experiments, making the tank a flexible item in a school biology lab setup.
