Lay your pipe cleaner on the black line in the middle of your journal. Tuck the pipe cleaner’s ends into the cuts you made. Twist the ends together tightly on the back of your journal.
In this lesson, students make observations of an underwater animal, a frogfish, in order to collect evidence that its external structures serve specific functions. In the activity, Frogfish Finder , students use their observations to construct an argument that the frogfish’s external and internal structures work together as part of a system to support their growth and survival.
We suggest students work in pairs. Homeschool students can work on their own.
Standards
