Data Forms

Data collected from the project is very important to maintain the quality of the project. The information is examined by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources throughout the year.

Aquarium data should be recorded at least every 2 weeks. Participants must submit a General Data Form monthly.

Classrooms conducting experiments must submit a form for each aquarium. Please be sure to list the variables and the description of each aquarium (i.e. sand color, heater, no heater, type of lighting, etc).

Please refer to the teacher guide for data collection procedures.

Please mail the data form to:
