First grade scientists created their own aquarium habitats.  They are very different from the garden we just studied but they still have land, water, air, plants and animals.

We took a closer look at the fish at the Waikiki Aquarium, in our aquariums and in the lab.  Check out the fish specimens from the fish market! They are soooo much bigger than the guppies in our tanks.  We could carefully touch their scales, find their lateral line and even feel their teeth.  Did you know some fish have tongues?  What does a fish eat if it doesn’t have a tongue?  Some fish had spines to protect themselves.  We had a lot of good questions and observations with our adventures.  All of our fish drawings will make our science lab window look like an aquarium!

What kind of fish is interesting to you?  Is it on your plate to eat?  Do you know what the animal looks like in its habitat?  Do you like a fish from fresh water or salt water?
