Description: An aquarium setup demonstrates hatching, basic care, and observation of small crustaceans.
Objective
Observe life cycles and simple behavior of brine shrimp.
Materials
- 50 L tank (or smaller demo tank), aeration
- Sea-monkey/brine shrimp kit, salt mix
- Thermometer, light source, magnifier
Procedure
1. Prepare saline water per kit instructions.
2. Hatch eggs; maintain light and temperature.
3. Feed sparingly; record growth observations.
4. Compare activity under different light levels.
Conclusion
Stable water chemistry and light drive predictable development cycles.
