I am a physics teacher and wish to record sounds of my classroom aquarium. How?

I know that there is a cheap or at least reasonable way to record underwater sounds made by the fish and frogs in our classroom aquarium... but I have no clue where to get the equipment nor how to make it :-( The kids would like to use it as a science project this next year. Can anyone help Pleeeeeese ??? Thanks

    Why you need is a "hydrophone"

    A google search

    Dr. J is correct, any terrestial accoustic device will not record properly so dont stuff a mic in a plastic bag and toss it in the drink, it will be distorted, but you already know this.
