Lesson Plan 1

lesson plan 1

In this first lesson plan is for art. We can use the pond as an landscape drawing. This is a great way for the student to be able to have a change in scenery and go outside to draw. This a great way to use all those fun color and free draw the pond. This would be great for the environment of art.

Lesson Plan 2

This next lesson plan will be for bible, again a great way to be outside and a change of scenery. this is a great way to visualize how great are God is. In Matthew chapter 6 God says

Lesson plan 2

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

This verse can relate to the pond because God feeds every living thing in the pond and they do not have to worry

About the pond

additions

This pond will have some amazing water features. We will add some amazing fish, plants, rocks, water filters and more.

Land

Land

For my land scape area there is going to be flowers and a nice path way. We can a have a memorial for somebody or something important. We make this a space that people want to be by. This will be a perfect area for lesson plans and all the students

Water feature

Water

In my water feature there is going to be an amazing waterfall so it will make it presentable. The waterfall will be perfect to filter the water thru the waterfall. The waterfall will pump the pond and keep it clean.

Organisms

organisms

Some of the organism that will be in my pond are

  • Ducks
  • Koi fish
  • Water Hyacinth
  • Water lettuce
  • Goldfish

predation or prey

Predation or Prey

Birds and racoons would be something I would have to look out for and keep it away. Something that is a good way to keep everything speacialy racoons out of the pond from fish is a net. There are so many differrent things to be able to do in the pond area.

needs of the organisms

Some of the needs of the organism are to check the filtration system. Another job is to check how the fish are and make sure the fish healthy.

Animals

  • Ducks
  • Koi fish
  • Goldfish
  • Frogs
  • and more

seasonal changes

One of the biggest things is to go from warm to cold. there will have to be enough room for the fish when the ice comes. We would have to make it a depper pond so it could freze and still have room. in the summer maybe some plants for shade and shelter

Sustainability in my pond

Sustainability

  • Education
  • health of the organism and humans
  • Filtration system
  • Plants+shelter
  • Structure Shape
  • Food+ Nutrition

Education

Education

This pond will be an amazing addition to the school and could impact the students and teachers. Teachers could use these as lessons plans. One lesson could be teaching kids about the food chain. Another lesson could be that God gives these living things life and they don't worry about what they are going to eat next God provides.

health of the organism and humans

We will priorities the health and safety for the organism and humans. That will include weekly check ins and to see if anything is over growing or going wrong. We will keep everything in check and and monitor each week how it is changing in a good way or bad. The health of the organism and humans will be in great hands.

Filtration system

One good filtration system specially for koi fish is the bead filter. This filter can be installed above ground or below ground. This bead filtration system can filter large water volumes, slow water movement allows more time for filtration to work better. these filtration systems helps the the pond ecosystem and fish waste, uneaten fish food, leaves and other debris .

Food+ Nutrition

There is nutrition in the ponds some plants absorb nutrients through the roots. A reduced amount of these major nutrients is considered limiting factor that can grow your pond and have a safe and happy environment. We would have to check the pond for excessive algae or weed growth in the pond and less nutrients. It is not good for the water to contain more fuel than the organisms utilizing in a healthy way.

Structure Shape

you want your pond to be acceptable to the people. Larger pond greater number of fish. I would do a 24 feet long by 12 feet wide with a depth of 4 feet so than it will be have depth for the winter. In my pond there is going to be koi fish, in my pond. Many plants to keep a balanced pond. I am going to give my pond a lot of space so the plants to grow and space for fish. In my pond there will be a filter the water and keep everything healthy. Keep the pond in a good sunny spot but a bit of shade, some rocks at the bottom.

Plants+shelter

Adding plants to a pond makes the pond balanced. it balances the food chain and it is great for the fish. Some of the best plants for a pond and koi fish is a Water Hyacinth. The Water Hyacinth is very manageable and the koi like to nibble on it. The water lettuce is a good floating plant that provides shelter, shade and food for the Koi fish. The water lettuce is very well adapted in the ponds and is a good plant for every pond.

Extra

Extra

Although this is going to be an amazing thing for the NPC community it will come with a price. This is going to be an amazing addition to the the school and for the students and teachers.

Picture

cost and sources

The cost for everything and fish, turtle, duck, rocks, plants will all cost 15-20 thousand dollars. But overall this will look amazing and will be amazing for the school.
