Fish Dissecting and Printing Lesson

Today we examined a mullet and trevally fish. This involved dissecting a trevally - cutting it into pieces with the eye well prodded, intestines thoroughly explored, gills yanked open and mouth peered down....a fish truly appreciated. We also used them for fish printing with a variety of paint printing patterns emerging. The excitement and fascination on the children's part in seeing a real-life dead fish made it all worth it! The video below gives a window into our time of discovery.

  2. What an awesome learning experience for you all Room 11! I wonder where the fish came from? I thought they just come from the fish and chip shop!! You might need to come and explain this to me. I loved seeing all your art today too.. an awesome discovery activity. From Mrs Brown
