Something is Fishy about this Expedition!

We are learning about fish! 


We are learning about the different body parts of a fish and why they are important. 


The parts your child should begin to know are 
eyes, gills, pectoral fins, pelvic fins, dorsal fin, caudal fin, anal fin, and adipose fin. 


We also talked about why scales and the slime found on the fish are important to the fishes health. 


We are currently discussing the life cycle of a Steelhead Trout which is the same species as the Rainbow Trout, except Steelhead Trout find their way to the ocean and back. They can adjust and adapt to two different environments just like a frog lives in two environments. 


We will be finishing up the week learning about what fish eat and who preys on fish.


Here is a video that explains the life cycle of a Salmon, which is closely related to the Steelhead Trout.







Here is a song about the Life Cycle of a Salmon, which is done to the tune of "I Will Survive." I thought it was kind of catchy and the photographs and real life images were done really well.
