Mosquito Project at SSLS
Children of SSLS kindergarten are fishing with a syringe


In the end of their "sunflower project " children of Sharm El Sheikh Language School (SSLS) kept flowers in a vase.
After some weeks Ali, one of the children, discovered that the water under one faded sunflower contained a great number of swimming animals. To observe these "fishes" each child received a sample of this water in a self-made aquarium, a  5-mL bottle and a 1-mL syringe which was cut at the top.
......
Left: The children were "fishing" the animals very clever: They learned how to fill the syringe and to  transfer water and animals into their 5-mL bottle.
Right: 15 labeled samples of "worms" and "dots" were the result of half an hour work in three small groups. Each child kept its bottle closed in a way that fresh air could enter, but no animals could escape.
