Choice Chamber Experiment

Nathania is setting up a choice chamber experiment which larval king fish will have the choice of harbour water or estuarine water.  This is the last part of her experimental work before she starts writing up her Masters thesis.

To test the water flow Nat added food colouring to check that the flow of each sample was the same - it did look the same which was fantastic!  

This links to the science capability of critiquing evidence in which data will be evaluated for trustworthiness.  If the experimental design is flawed, her data is less reliable.  This also links to the NoS objective of Investigating in Science in which appropriate investigations are carried out develop explanations.

Nat is going to segment and label the areas of the chamber so that she can count how many fish are in each area at different intervals.  This is a good example of how numeracy is inextricably linked to science.
