Equipment Set-Up Videos
Shawn Ackley, science teacher at the Earle B. Wood Middle School in Rockville, Maryland, has put together some great instructional videos on how to set up a TIC tank and its equipment. Some of the equipment he uses is different from what we use in Vermont. Nonetheless, if you’re setting up your gear for the first time, we think you will learn something from them.
