Keeping fish alive in a minnow bucket?

I am looking for someway to keep fish (not minnows) such as some yellow perch, bass, bluegill, etc alive long enough so I can bring them into class to show my students. I have a large minnow bucket (cause I won't be hauling in 700 perch) and plan on filling it with water from the lake. But how do I keep the fish alive (say 1-2 days) without an automatic aerator. I have a tank and everything in the classroom but the trouble will be keeping the fish alive long enough.

If you hate reading:
1) I need to keep some panfish alive for 1-2 days.
2) I have a large minnow bucket
3) I'd really rather not buy an automatic aerator unless you can link me a cheap one.

Thanks
