The most basic TerrAqua Column combines a deep
base unit with deep funnel and top units. We added an internal
unit to the aquarium in our Essential Science for Teachers TerrAqua
Column to provide additional viewing and photographing space.
What you stock your TerrAqua Column with
involves your goals for study, the sources of your specimens — local
or purchased — and your own creativity. The simplest way to stock
your Column is to collect from your local environment. Because our goals
were to use the TerrAqua Column as a learning tool for the Essential
Science for Teachers course, we combined local collections with purchased
specimens to make our system particularly diverse.
