This week grade two students observed different kinds of fish and squid as part of our unit of inquiry.
 |
| Curiously checking out the inside |
Learning Intention: I am learning to identify and classify marine animals.
Success Criteria:
Draw marine animals with detail.
Use an identification key to name different marine animals.
Label the different parts of ocean animals.
Compare marine animals according to what they look like (observable features)
Skill Focus: Observation
Caring: Students learned about treating animals with respect.
 |
| Not afraid to handle a squid! Students could touch the marine animals gently |
 |
| 2B girls using their observation skills and drawing sketches |
 |
| 2A scientists cooperating |
 |
| Looking eye to eye with a squid |
 |
| She was ready to turn the fish over to observe the other side |
 |
| Observing the pectoral fin |
 |
| Interesting way to draw a detailed sketch |
 |
| We were surprised how wide the mouth could open. Also the girls noticed how the mouth was connected to the gills. |
2A and 2B students asked lots and lots of questions during this activity. Your daughter could extend her learning by identifying these fish using an identification key or a trip to the local supermarket. Then she can start researching on the internet or using non-fiction books to answer her questions and find out more.
