I Spy Students conduct simple, gentle, experiments with selected sea creatures focusing on the animals' adaptations for eating, moving, holding on and protecting themselves.
Students create prints of fish using a few basic materials including tempera paint and paper.
A creative way to learn about fish. A box of mystery objects collected from local beaches serves as the focus for student observations and inferences. Observations of a variety of fish provide concrete examples of biological adaptation. Dinner Students see microscopic plants and animals that live in a drop of saltwater and then feed this plankton to tubeworms, barnacles, clams and other filter feeding organisms. You may think barnacles are dull, commonplace animals, but try this lesson and your students will discover the magic of these tough, amazing creatures.
