Designed by Debbie Valerio, TIC teacher, for the NYC and NYC Watersheds Trout in the Classroom program.
Objective: #
To practice measurement skills for math and science
Background: #
Scientists are often catching and measuring trout in streams, to see what fish are living where.
Materials: #
- A ruler
- Trout of varying sizes saved in test tubes
- Rubbing alcohol
Procedure: #
- Draw an enlarged, color picture of one of the trout from our tank.
- Measure 3 different trout in test tubes. Write the letter of the test tube and measurement both in inches and centimeters on a list.
- Using only the metric measurement, list the trout in order from largest to smallest.
Wrap-Up: #
Find other objects of the same size in the classroom, find the mass of the trout, order them by size
