Making simple floating island

After a few aquatic plants transplanted to pool all because of ecological factors apple snails and failed, we began to design other ways to grow aquatic plants. After a check the information and guidance of a teacher, found the artificial floating island may be a viable way to add camping activities after school, leaving many of bamboo, so to a large pool of ecological reconstruction plan it!

Movie - making floating island

The first generation of floating islands making

Materials: Bamboo sub sub wire

Production tools: saws, scissors, pliers

Production steps: Take six bamboo, bamboo two sides have long, wide on both sides of each piece of bamboo, a chance to cross the bamboo place wire bundle up, and finally get to the bottom of the net wrap designed to complete our simple Floating Island devices.

Improved floating island

After the completion of the first generation of floating islands with a rope to string together one by one, with no bamboo support, plus put a leaf floating aquatic plants and very waterborne later found insufficient buoyancy will sink, so be improved. The second generation of floating islands in the four corners plus foam, while adding three bamboo will still sink, plus the Ducks will run into, the aquatic plants are eaten. The third generation of floating islands at both ends of each plus a long foam, finally solved the problem of insufficient buoyancy.

After the first generation of buoyancy deficiencies found floating island water
