We have almost finished the mirrors! The snook and the tarpon are still waiting to be grouted. All in all, the students were able to express some creativity with the mirrors. We hit some snags with the power tools in that the router cowling screw stripped and we did not have the funding to purchase another. So I had to do all of the routing for the mirrors. Most of the students cut their own wood shapes and drilled their holes so they were able to work with some of the power tools. All of the mirrors were sold with one exception. Overall, the response to the mirrors was excellent. These were part of the midterm practical exam and students were given a 2 week period to complete them. This was a good project to judge creativity, skills sets, independent work, and grouting skills. This is a keeper lesson that can be incorporated into Environmental Science, Earth Science, and Biology or Marine Science.
