Proposals of Practical Excercises in Zoology Based on Protists and Invertebrates from Freshwater Aquaria
Talavášková, Barbora ; Mourek, Jan (advisor) ; Říhová, Dagmar (referee)
This thesis deals with proposals for practical exercises using freshwater aquaria in teaching elementary schools and junior high schools that focus on protozoa and invertebrates. The main aim of the thesis is to propose practical exercises using elements of inquiry-based science education. Using identification cards of protozoa and microscopic invertebrates, pupils can learn about these organisms during laboratory exercises with microscopes. A total of fourteen cards with representatives of protozoa, invertebrates, algae and cyanobacteria typical of freshwater aquariums are presented. Each of the identification cards contains a basic description, as well as a procedure for the pupils to observe and draw the organism. They are accompanied by a photograph, a pen drawing and a QR code that links to a video of the observation of the representative under the microscope. Another proposal is a practical exercise focusing on the food chain of standing water. Also included is a worksheet focusing on independent laboratory work by students on water quality analysis using the Pasco laboratory technique. The contribution of this work is the actual experience of setting up a school freshwater aquarium. The process of setting up the aquarium and investigating it is described in this thesis. The succession of...

Aguarium. A Set of Art lessons for 1st Grade of Elementary School. (theoretical-project thesis)
ZELENDOVÁ, Markéta
The presented theoretical and project diploma thesis was aimed at developing an art project AQUARIUM, during the Art Education lessons in the first level of elementary school. It is structured in two parts, a theoretical one and a practical one. The theoretical part defines the therms and processes available literature on the topic. The project part of the thesis consists of eleven proposed art lessons and also deals with the documentation, implementation and reflection of the proposed teaching units. The diploma thesis is followed with pictorial annexes related to the theoretical part, photo documentation of lessons and proposed structured preparation.

Návrh nízkonákladového řešení regulační a ovládací jednotky pro akvária a terária
PAPAJ, Michal
Bachelor's thesis is focused on a design of a low-cost regulation and control unit for aquariums and terrariums. Initial part examines demands of animals on the environment and possibilities of suitable technologies for aquariums and terrariums. A suitable low-cost technology for the regulation unit is selected. Practical part aims on the design and construction of the control unit system. It is capable of monitoring or regulating, among other things, temperature, pH, water level or lighting. Mobile and web applications are designed and implemented. The system allows a user to oversee the state of the environment and regulate it remotely.

Design and implementation of a control unit for the aquarium environment
Petrák, Lukáš ; Formánek, Martin (referee) ; Krejčí, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the design and implementation of a prototype control unit for controlling the internal environment of an aquarium. The aim of this work is to create a device that will control the aquarium lighting using available LED strips of different colors, as well as maintain the aquarium water temperature within the range set by the user. It will then record on an SD card the progress of the lighting, the water temperature from the three sensors and the time when these values were obtained. These measurements can be retrieved and the device can be controlled via a web interface from a standard browser. The device should realizable from commonly available modules and components and its parameters should satisfy both the beginner and the advanced aquarist who, from the analysis of the measured values of the aquarium's internal environment, will adjust the control unit according to his needs.

Production of aquariums Brno Pavlica
Chrobák, Milan ; Kotek, arch Jakub (referee) ; Boleslavská, Yvona (advisor) ; Bečkovský, David (advisor)
This bachelors final project is based on an atelier project of the sixth semester of the bachelors study program of architecture of civil engineering. This project is based on the original design. The task was to design an object suitable for production and show of large-sized interior aquarias made by company PAVLICA Akvária, originaly located in Uherský Ostroh, and its administration. The plot, where the object has to be located, is labeled as brownfield no. 0811. This area is situated in Horní Heršpice, Brno. Designed object respects the surrounding terrain and copies it with its staging volume. The building is reflecting personal and profesional approach of the company to every contract. The building is two-storey. On its ground floor, there is situated showroom for presetation of company and for event happenings. On the second floor, there is administration offices, staff facilities, support areas, production itself including stock.

Utilization of aquarium in the biology education
Špůrová, Hana ; Hanel, Lubomír (advisor) ; Andreska, Jan (referee)
This thesis focuses on the use of freshwater animals in biology lessons. It especially provides detailed instructions for school experiments and observations of these animals, which can be bred in a freshwater aquarium at school. Manuals have worksheets for pupils and are anter keys. Each worksheet has got guidance for teachers, which contains specific instructions for the preparation of observation and experimentation and also gives some additional information. Individual worksheets are focused on representatives of cold water and tropical freshwater fish, shrimp and crayfish. A considerable part of the worksheets is devoted to our invertebrates, which can be caught in nature, and placed into the aquarium for a limited period, so there we can see the experiments and observations of some aquatic larvae of insects, flatworms, bugs, beetles, molluscs, annelids and arthropods. It also includes information about the various representatives used in the worksheets, such as a brief description of the animal and its demands for breeding. There are also instructions on how to obtain these animals. This thesis also contains practical manuals onwhere to place the aquarium in the classroom and how to manage and maintain it because this work is conceived as a handbook for teachers of biology, who have no...

Vybrané aspekty vlivu bezobratlých herbivorů na složení travinného společenstva
HRUBÁ, Karolína
The first part of my thesis is focused on observation of the leaf damage by invertebrate herbivores during season. I examined how the selected traits affect the palatability of plant species. In the next project, I investigated the effect of herbivory and gaps on seedling establishment. And finally, in the last part, I studied the effect of herbivory of terrestrial gastropods on competitive relationships among selected species.

Design of a complex automated system for aquarists
Hedvíček, Michal ; Kunz, Jan (referee) ; Uher, Miroslav (advisor)
Thesis deals with the theoretical design of an automatic control system for the aquarium and following simulation software environment Proteus ISIS. Due to simulation program can verify the behavior of the microprocessor in the specified functions, the correctness of electrical connections and errors in source code.
