Steps in Preparation and Construction of a Pond

There are common three types of fishponds: the small backyard fishpond or dug out, fishponds made of bamboo screens (BANANA) and fishponds.

Dug-out or small Backyard Fishponds

The two types of dug out excavated and the dug-out concrete. The dug-out excavated is the most economical and practical to construct.

* In constructing a pond, the first step in measuring the perimeter w/c is done by practical sighting and use of strings and pegs, followed by digging the soil from 1 to 5 meters deep. The soil is to build the perimeter dike two meters high from the base of the crown. It should be provided with a water pipe, 7.62 cm in diameter. Depending on its height, the dike should be constructed in 3-6 installment layers to allow the layer of mud blocks to harden and shrink before another layer is place on top.

In case of an Earthquake

What you should do...

- If indoors, stay inside the premises, keep calm & don't panic. (don't be sad and don't be happy)

- Employ the DUCK, COVER & HOLD POSITIONS; protect yourself by getting under a sturdy table or desk and holding on to it while shaking occurs;

- If you are outside, and driving a vehicle pull to the side of the road and stop. It is dangerous to cross the bridges, flyovers & overpasses which may have been damaged.

- If you are outside, move to an open area. Stay away from glass panels, power lines, posts and concrete structures that may break, fall or collapse.

What to do as soon as the ground shaking tops:

- Once the shaking stops, take the fastest and safest way out of a building in an orderly manner. Be alert and watch out for falling debris. USE THE STAIRS, NOT ELEVATORS

-
Check yourself & other injuries. Administer first aid if trained to do so. Otherwise, seek immediate assistance from nearby authorities if necessary.

- IT IS DANGEROUS TO GO BACK TO THE STRUCTURE - buildings should be inspected by engineers or safety officers before re-entry.

Environment in a bottle

All of the earth'-s water goes through a cycle in which the water changes its location or physical state through different processes. In accordance with the law of conservation of matter, water is not created or destroyed it just changes form. Water can be found in all three states of matter during the cycle: solid (ice caps), liquid (lakes) and gas (water vapor).

There are five processes by which water moves through the cycle. Water in oceans and lakes evaporates into the air. Cool air in the atmosphere causes this water vapor to condense into a cloud. Precipitation from the cloud falls to the ground as rain, sleet or snow. The water on the ground percolates through the soil and some of it is absorbed by plants. As the plants go through photosynthesis (converting sunlight, water and carbon dioxide for their own food), they absorbed water from the soil and release some of it back into the air through transpiration.

These patterns of change can vary, but the cycle occurs continuously. Water has been cycling by means of these processes since time began.

Is Biology important?

Biology, the study of life science is at the forefront of science and technology in the 21st century. The increasing knowledge of organisms, their functioning, genetics, behavior, and interactions with each other are transforming our understanding of life. It is so intriguing to know that there are indeed living species in the world that we can't see and that we don't even know exist. The study of life gives us many explanation of how all living things - big or small effect our lives and thru investigation, formulates effective ways in addressing the threats on the stability of the planet's ecosystems.
