Essential Question What are common characteristics shared by most fish?
10
What is a fish? Define: Any of numerous cold-blooded aquatic vertebrates of the subclass Pisces, characteristically having fins, gills, and a streamlined body and including specifically any of the class Osteichthyes, having a bony skeleton.

Types of Fish Freshwater: fish that spend some or all of their lives in freshwater, such as rivers and lakes, with a salinity of less than 0.05% fish that spend some or all of their lives in freshwater, such as rivers and lakes, with a salinity of less than 0.05% Salt water: Fish living in water containing from 3.0 to 3.5% total salts. Fish living in water containing from 3.0 to 3.5% total salts. Ocean type fish Ocean type fish
12
Freshwater Types: Livebearers, Guppies, Gouramis, Betta, Oscar, Cichlids, Goldfish (MUCH MORE!) Diet: Omnivores Behavior: Certain fish occupy different levels in the tank Certain fish occupy different levels in the tank Territorial Territorial

26
Fish Video
27
Objectives Explore, Analyze, and Understand the basics of fish care
28
Warm Up What happened here? How might we fix this?
29
Nitrogen Cycle: Critical to Fish Care Define: the establishment of beneficial bacteria in the aquarium and in the filter media that will help in the conversion of ammonia to nitrite and then the conversion of nitrite to nitrates. Process can take from 2 weeks to 2 months or longer to complete
30
Nitrogen Cycle
31
Activities Fish Care: Articles are located at stations throughout the room. You have questions to answer for each packet You will have 20 minutes @ each station. There are 5 stations.

Fish! Anatomy Animal Science Level 1
33
Warm Up Is this a Fish?
34
Essential Question How are fish bodies suited for swimming?
35
External Anatomy
37
Internal Anatomy
39
Anatomy Explained Brain: seat of the mental faculties of a fish. Esophagus: part of the digestive tract connecting the mouth to the stomach. Dorsal aorta: vessel in the back that carries blood from the heart to the organs. Stomach: part of the digestive tract between the esophagus and the intestine. Air bladder: pocket in which urine collects. Spinal cord: part of the nervous system that connects the brain to all other parts of a fish
40
Anatomy Explained Kidney: blood-purifying organ. Urinary orifice: opening for eliminating urine. Genital Orifice: opening related to the genital organs. Anus: end of the digestive tract. Gonad: hormone-secreting sexual gland of a fish. Intestine: last part of the digestive tract. Pyloric cecum: cul-de-sac related to the intestine. Gall bladder: small sac containing the bile. Liver: bile-producing digestive gland. Heart: blood-pumping organ.
41
Anatomy Explained Gills: respiratory organ of a fish. Tooth: hard organ of a fish used to shred food. Eye: sight organ of a fish. Olfactory bulb: bulging part of the smell organ of smell of a fish
42
Science of the Sea
43
Activity Comparing Fish, Reptile and Bird Anatomy worksheet Write a one page narrative in the first person (Me, I) as if you were a fish living under water. Answer the following: What do you do in a day? Where do you live? Why are you able to survive where you live? Body adaptations Make sure you EXPLAIN what your adaptation is, AND how it helps you survive!
44
Fish! Diseases Animal Science Level 1
45
Warm Up What happened to this fish?
46
Essential Question Why would fish disease be hard to spot?
47
Common Fish Diseases Clamped Fins The fish clamps its fins close against the its body Shimmy swimming fast but staying in the same place. Ich Spots tiny white spots on the body and fins of the fish.
48
Clamp and Ich
49
Common Fish Diseases Red or White Sores Many things can cause sores on fish such as fights with other fish, scraping on sharp rocks, and small wounds that get infected and grow bigger. Crashed on the Bottom When fish crash on the bottom and do not swim, it is usually a sign that they are exhausted. There are many reasons a fish can become exhausted, but quite often they have been sick, and probably showed symptoms such as gasping, shimmy, or clamped fins, before they became tired and crashed on the bottom.
50
Diseases Glancing is a fish behavior where a fish rubs itself on the bottom of the aquarium, or on the gravel, or on a rock or ornament. The fish rubs or glances because it is itchy. Loss of Appetite If your fish is not eating or takes food in its mouth and then immediately spits it out, your fish is showing one of the Signs of Stress and Disease.
51
Diseases Pop-eye in itself is not a disease but is more a symptom of an underlying infection.
52
Red Sores, Pop eye
53
Gasping at the Surface Gasping at the Surface A fish that is gasping at the surface of the water is usually suffering from a lack of oxygen, that could be due to a lack of oxygen in the water or the fish's inability to absorb the oxygen from the water.
54
Pamphlet Students will create a pamphlet on how to keep your fish happy and healthy Must be colored Things to do, NOT diseases
55
