Learners start by using the “Freshwater” section of the Aurelia app. This helps them glean base knowledge of freshwater fish adaptations and their habitats. Students then extend their knowledge to consider how fish have to adapt seasonally, namely in the winter when surface water freezes over. They’ll discover how fish have to physically and spatially respond to those changes within their environment. Although this activity could translate to other freshwater habitats, for this lesson, fish from the North American Great Lakes will be utilized.

Estimated time required: 1 class period.

Technology required for this lesson: Tablet or Smartphone.
