An Oyster Research Tank (ORT) is an indoor tank with about 10-20 live oysters that allows students to explore this unique organism in their classroom. Students collaboratively set up ideal conditions for the tank, and monitor oyster growth over time. They can collect data, design an experiment or use oysters as the anchoring phenomenon to explore a range of concepts.
Oyster Research Tanks are for any classroom teacher or informal educator who works with students. Trained teachers or informal educators receive two 6-gallon tanks, all maintenance materials, live oysters and access to our free curriculum. This can be a great complement to the in-water Oyster Research Station (ORS) program!
Live Billion Oyster Project oysters are only available to educators in the 5 boroughs, due to permitting regulations.
