In this mini-lesson, students explore the anatomy of fish and learn how they breathe.
Here are some writing prompts to help students reflect on the mini-lesson. Feel free to copy and paste them into an assignment.
Why can't fish breathe on land?
What did this lesson make you curious about? What other questions do you have about fish?
Bonus Activity: Fish use their gills to breathe air that is in the water. It doesn’t look like there’s any air in a glass of water. But try this experiment. Fill a clear cup with water. Let it sit out on the counter for a few hours. Then look carefully at the sides of the cup. What do you notice? Try the experiment with hot water and cold water. See what happens!
