Next Generation of Scientists and Engineers: Examining Structure and Function

Fish exist in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. Unique characteristics called adaptations help them survive in their watery environments.

In part 1, two student volunteers “dress” in the unique structures of predator and prey fish. In part 2, the class decides what a local lake or river environment might be like in a the year 4000. Each student then designs a fish with adaptations suited to this future habitat.
