Activity 2: Farming prawns
In this activity students use Google Maps and DaftLogic software to develop an idea of the size of the ponds, the stocking rates and the amount of food that is required for the prawns to grow to marketable size. Through sampling techniques and calculations, where it is possible to use a spreadsheet, they gain a better understanding of the actual numbers involved in prawn farming.
