Something's Fishy!!

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!!





Please press play!


Trinity, Marleigh, and Kaley were excited to find out what fish they had!

Connor, Kaleb, and Tyrun are working hard on their fish!


Jeremia wonders what fish he is making!

Laci and Hannah wonder where the dorsal fins go.

Laci wants to know if this is the pectoral fin!

Kaleb, Tyrun, and Ryan think they may have it figured out!

Trinity is working hard, while Marleigh thinks she is done!

Jeremia says he is finished!

What fish will we make?


Look what Connor, Kaleb, Tyrun, and Ryan made!

What a cool shark, Jeremia!


Kaley isn't sure if hers looks like the picture!
