Goldfish


We are having so much fun with our new Science unit!  Last week, we brought 8 goldfish into our classroom and placed them in aquariums.  Students got into groups of 3 and have been studying the body structure and needs of their goldfish. They are recording their findings in a special Science journal.  Today, they added elodea (a green plant) to their aquarium to give more oxygen to their goldfish.  Some of the goldfish decided to take a bite out of the elodea and the kids thought that was pretty funny! Check back to hear about more Science fun!  We start ant farms next week!
