List the steps to build an aquarium.

1.- We need to get a shoebox of a black color.

2.- Make sure that it is completely black if it is not then you can paint it

3.- Cut the box cover.

4.- After you cut the box cover of the shoebox you need to paint the  bottom of a blue color.

5.- Wait until it is bone-dry.

6.- Now you can paste an image of the sea.

7.- Very carefully put the animals as a cycle first the producer, etc etc….

8.- If nothing fall down then you can say that you just build an aquarium

What was the most difficult thing in building the aquarium?

The most difficult thing when we built the aquarium was that we’ve to create it from 0, we were thinking about the materials we were going to use in order to make a good aquarium, another difficulty we have during the construction of the aquarium was that of what material the animals were going to be, at the end after a lot of research, we could solve all our problems, and construct a great aquarium.

What do you recommend people should do when building an aquarium?

That first they need to have a clear idea about the aquarium, what species of fishes, or sea animals they are going to use, in order to have sense in the aquarium, other thing we recommend is that they need to be creative during the construction of the aquarium, and they have to be clear when explaining the autotrophs, heterotrophs, primary producer, all all their variables, like if the heterotrophs are carnivores, scavengers, herbivores, etc. Also they need to identify what kind of process the primary producer do in order to produce energy.
