Tadpole in the spotlight

Tadpole in the spotlight

Allow ourselves to introduce ... ourselves

We are a grade 3 class in Canada. We began our final science unit "Animal Lifecycles" this month. Our science teacher Mr. C ordered the class some tadpoles as a surprise. He setup an aquarium using natural materials. There is real grass, moss and soil, along with rocks for the frogs. He used clay soil to seal the water area of the tank so that the water did not spread all over. He purchased a filter/aerator and buried it in rocks, so that it was hidden and kept the tank looking nice and natural.

Right now we are trying to solve the problem of taking good pictures. Our camera has auto-focus and is not cooperating.
