Fashion A FishModified from “Fashion a Fish,” Project WILD
Aquatic
Objectives Students will be able to:
Describe the adaptations of fish to their environments
Describe how adaptations can help fish survive in their habitats
Interpret the importance of adaptation in animals
Construct a fish with a given set of adaptations
Background Aquatic Animal adaptations have occurred
over the course of several years
Adaptations increase likelihood of survival
Some have adapted to a point that they are vulnerable to slight changes
