3. We set sail to explore Fresh and Salty bodies of water

4. Bodies of Freshwater

Lake
Pond

5. Bodies of Salty Water
Ocean
Sea
Gulf
Bay

6. We Prepared for our Imaginary Scuba Adventure

7. Ready! Set! Dive!

8. As an Apprentice Marine Biologist, we observed basic bony fish and their anatomy.

10. 2nd Grade Projects
On a scuba adventure, 2nd grade Apprentice Marine Biologist’s were to photograph their favorite freshwater or saltwater fish.

11. Created a human bar graph with data about their favorite species of fish…

12. …then they put their data on a bar graph.

13. 2nd grade had to write a Math Statement or question for their graph

14. 2nd Grade – also Graphed - Most water type fish chosen...

15. 2nd grade designed a Pattern Block fish, …

16. …measured the perimeter of the fish, ...

17. …labeled the anatomy of a fish, and…

18. …gave the fish a scientific name.

19. 3rd Grade Projects
3rd grade Apprentice Marine Biologist’s also had to photograph their favorite freshwater or saltwater fish.

20. Spreadsheets and bar graphs of a class’ favorite species were created with SuccessMaker Enterprise

21. A pattern Block fish was designed to resemble the species and given a scientific name. - Green Triangle Walking Catfish -

22. Label the Fish Anatomy

23. The Area of the fish was measured

24. 4th Grade Projects
On the 4th grade Scuba adventure, Apprentice Marine Biologists had to photograph 3 fish from their favorite species

25. Data was collected on each fish
Name
Include the scientific name and species
Whale Shark Rhincodon typus Whale Sharks
Great White Shark Carcharodon carcharias Mackerel Sharks
Scalloped Hammerhead Sphyrna lewini Hammerhead Sharks
Size What is the actual size?
Description To 60' (18.3 m).
Total length (TL) commonly to 17'5" (5.3 m); maximum recorded TL 21' (6.4 m).
To 13'9" (4.2 m).
Body Shape
Project:
Find the Mean.
Round to the nearest inch or foot.
Convert feet to inches if necessary
Find the Mean –Average Length- of the species

26. Biologists then had to find the Mean Length of their species
Rounded
Mean Length

27. After finding the Mean Length, Biologists measured…

28. … and designed a fish

29. Some fish averaged as small as a few inches….

30. …to as large as 30 feet.
Whale Shark

31. 5th Grade Project
5th Grade Marine Biologists’ reviewed all the data and projects from grades 2 thru 4, completed this PowerPoint presentation with the guidance from Ms. Miner and gave an oral presentation to Kindergarten and 1st grade future Marine Biologists.
