Marine Wildlife Study: 5 Fish Characteristic Guide + 7 Extension Activities

Description

24 total pages including: 5 fish species highlight pages, an activity or project per fish, and two bonus activities for the Starry Pufferfish. This can be used in a single week or spread out over a month.

Whether you’re a homeschool parent with many children doing an Ocean unit study, or a classroom science teacher, this focus on 5 key oceanic fish species is a great way to learn and explore. It can be used in a group setting or with an individual student.

The five fish covered in this mini pack are:

– Titan Triggerfish

– Red Bream

– Red Lionfish

– Starry Puffer

– Blue Tang

Every fish has its own Key Characteristic and fact sheet which also details its Latin name and taxonomic classification. Every fish also has at least one cross-curricular activity to explore some of the main features of the fish being studied. For instance, the pufferfish has 3 different science-based activities including one that focuses on how its eyes work independently from one another. The Lionfish activity is a simple demonstration about how invasive species impact an environment.

This is a part of a larger Marine Wildlife unit study if you’re looking for more than just 5 fish.
