Fruit Loop Fishing & Fish Schooling
Posted by Unknown | | Posted On Thursday, June 3, 2010 at 6:48 PM
Today we learned about 2 fishing methods. Fishing with a rod and fishing with a net. We found out which method catches more fish. We had 2 trials for rod and 2 trials with our net....really in our case our ladle.
The kids had fun counting the cereal and since I do not purchase Fruit Loops on a regular basis (like never) they really enjoyed them as a treat.
We also learned why fish school. To make themselves look bigger so that a predator will not try and eat them. We did this with our fingerprints representing each little fish within a large fish that we made. When we hold the picture REALLY far away it looks like one big fish rather than a bunch of little fish.
