New algae and growth media ordered-- due in on Tuesday.
End of the term- need grading rubrics submitted; permission slips for Feb 10th field trip.
Materials Group-
Joelle- planters outside-- will need more in spring
Am doing research on mycelum--will present several methods of growing it.
In the past students have used glove bags to keep it sterile.
Mycelium can be stored in the Science department refrigerator.
Bikes Group-
Removed the DC motor from the treadmill that Dr. Tupper and Mr. Peloquin got.
Puts out about 6 volts when spun manually. Will be trying to make a friction connection to the bicycle.
Algae Group-
Algae needs less air flow. May have been over-fed. White cloudiness- needs to be disinfected. Have ordered growth media with new algae from Connecticut Biological. Need to sterilize the bottles when setting up the new system.
Aquaponics System-
What is a reasonable goal to achieve this year- a portable aquaponics system.
Discussed adding automatic controls.
