The 4th graders took a dive into ichthyology to learn all about marine fish! After we went over the scientific classification system of the Animal Kingdom, the students participated in a Fish Kits activity! They learned about the different body types, fins, and anatomy of fish! The students were then given "kits" with a clue card, modeling clay, google eyes, and fin cut-outs to try and reconstruct the mystery fish from the clue card. We then looked at pictures of the fish and tried to match them to our creations!
To finish the day off, the 4th grade learned a song about the fins of a fish! Check it out!!
