Our Aquariums
We are extremely lucky to have several aquariums at Pine View School. Thanks to support from our administration and our parents and community we have had the incredible opportunity to install and maintain wonderful aquatic environments for the education of our students and the entertainment of all our visitors. This page will provide pictures of and information about our tanks.
Please contact Mr. Jason Miller our Honors Marine Science teacher with any questions or for additional information.
The Marine Science Lab is the classroom where Mr. Miller teaches Honors Marine Science and AP Environmental Science. The importance of water quality features heavily in the curriculum of both classes and the maintenance of proper water conditions in these aquariums provides students with a hands-on opportunity to observe how subtle changes in water parameters can effect marine organisms.
