Use this animal guide to learn the scientific name and discover the habitat, diet, reproduction, physical and unique characteristics of the Clouded Archerfish.

This resource provides colorful pictures of sea animals interact with audio and the written vocabulary word as you move your mouse over the picture. This vocabulary would compliment a science unit on marine life.

Learn about the characteristics and diversity of vertebrate animals.

A free CK-12 account is required to view all materials.

This activity is a classroom guided inquiry lesson where the student will sort, identify, and classify Minnesota fish.

This activity is a classroom and field investigation where students will group Minnsota fish families and create their own pop can fishing rods.

In this Fizzy's Lunch Lab video, Fizzy introduces the Nuts! -- Almond, Pistachio, and Hazelnut -- to talk to students about why nuts are a healthy food choice that should be included in their diets, and to explain that each specific nut has a different, beneficial effect on the human body. [2:33]

In this episode [25:25], students explore Alaska Native culture and values using "First Fish," an 11-minute animated story from the PBS KIDS series Molly of Denali. Before Molly catches her first fish, a childhood milestone that is as important today as it was in the past, she researches facts about salmon to help her. When Molly finally succeeds, she follows the tradition of honoring one's elders by offering her prized catch to Grandpa Nat. As students examine values, such as sharing with others and respecting elders, they learn social-emotional skills as well as the importance in Alaska Native culture of connecting to all living things.

Restoring Ea is a place-based middle school science unit exploring management strategies that could be used for the Loko ea fishpond to sustainably feed people and ensure the ecosystem is healthy and pono (balanced). While specifically designed for seventh-grade teachers and students in central O'ahu, Restoring Ea could be adapted and used by middle school teachers across the country who are looking to engage their students in meaningful, next-generation science learning.

This activity will expose students to the local fish in their lakes. The students will be asked to identify, sort, and classify local fish.

Students are introduced to the basic biology behind Pacific salmon migration and the many engineered Columbia River dam structures that aid in their passage through the river's hydroelectric dams. Students apply what they learn about the salmon life cycle as they think of devices and modifications that might be implemented at dams to aid in the natural cycle of fish migration, and as they make (hypothetical) Splash Engineering presentations about their proposed fish mitigation solutions for Birdseye River's dam in Thirsty County.
