Computers and computer accessories were also plugged in to the row of power strips. At the back wall of the classroom observed an aquarium which was plugged into a power strip and two additional power strips were plugged into one power strip which was plugged into a wall outlet. In the downstairs school age classroom I observed a row of 3 power strips' "daisy chained" into one another with computers and computer accessories plugged into the power strips.
