Assignment : Unique fish adaptations
Learning objectives:
After completing this assignment, the student will (1) understand the biology of a fish and how the fish functions, (2) be able to explain a unique adaptation that fish has to help its survival/reproduction/feeding, and (3) be able to summarize information to create an infographic.
Assignment:
Fish have a host of adaptations that allow for survival in various zones of the ocean. These adaptations increase survival and reproduction of the species, thus being favored by natural selection and being passed on each generation.
Choose a single species of fish.Research your fish and summarize the information you find into a concise, visual infographic.
An infographic is a single poster/slide of the information you find. It should contain lots of pictures and just a few bullet points summarizing the information.
Make sure to include in your infographic:
Name of fish (scientific and common name)
Where fish lives/ type of lifestyle (i.e., predator, reef dweller, pelagic swimmer, etc)
Adaptation
What adaptation is used for
How adaptation helps fish to survive and reproduce
Include at the bottom of your infographic any references you used (use proper citations), this includes any books, websites, journal articles, class notes, etc.
