Species Adaptations

Program Description

Upon donning hip and chest waders, students enter the pond ecosystem to collect macro-invertebrates and fish for laboratory study. Returning to the Fish House, students classify their organisms, identifying the structure/function relationships of their adaptations. Students compare the structures of a bony fish to that of a cartilage fish; the dogfish shark. Students proceed to dissect a preserved shark specimen analyzing the internal systems and the role they play in species survival.
