He did make them wear gloves and goggles but yes he certainly could have used maybe Kenya tree or something. Besides that though, this is pretty awesome. Its teachers like this that inspire kids

By the way, I really love that this teacher is teaching his students using a reef tank... but also disagree with his choice to use zoas as a propagation subject. Although they do tend to be a fast grower and can be a colorful animal to keep their interest... the palytoxins are way too dangerous to risk on young children. All it would take is for one kid to lift his goggles to see better and get a squirt in the eye. Kids just don't understand the dangers enough to fear the consequences.
Mushrooms, leathers, etc. would be a better choice to start with.

Preparing to be a teacher, there will definitely be a small tank in the classroom. However the students will learn about not touch it! Dangerous for the coral and students....great effort by the teacher tho...more teachers should incorporate things like this.
