Fishy Science
Water, water everywhere . . . and yet fish get thirsty. Why? Through observation and experimentation, students learn the answers to that question and many others in this four-lesson curriculum on how fish swim and breathe, their sensory features, and their adaptation to water. Units can stand alone or be presented in sequence. Among the activities are
- identifying body parts of fish
- adapting a quarter to enable it to float
- detecting carbon dioxide in exhaled air
- exploring the breathing mechanism of fish
- observing fish for color vision
The teacher manual includes lesson plans, camera-ready student handouts, and information on additional resources.
Fishy Science was developed by faculty and staff of The Ohio State University as part of the Science Alive 4-H School Enrichment Program.
