Vocabulary: Aquatic, vertebrate, jaws, scales, fins, gills, scales, cartilaginous fish, rays, chimaeras, dorsal fins, anal fins, caudal fins, pelvic fin, pectoral fins, rubbery elastic.
Material required: Fishes pictures, toy fishes, books and board puzzle.
Presentation: Fishes live in water. Some live in freshwater, some live in salt water. They are cold blooded. Fishes are aquatic vertebrate animals. They have back bones. They take water through their mouth. They absorb the oxygen and send out the rest through the gills. In whales we can see the water coming out like a fountain. Their body is covered with scales of different types that help them to swim well. Sharks, rays, chimaeras are cartilaginous fish. They have boneless body made of rubbery elastic substances called cartilage. Fishes have jaws. They have dorsal fins, anal fins, caudal fin (tail fin). They also have pectoral fins and pelvic fins. Some fishes eat aquatic plants and other small fishes. Fishes lay eggs. Eggs hatch in to a larvae which grow in to adult fish. There are so many kinds of aquatic animals: like fishes, sharks, snails, squids, octopus, crabs, sponges, jelly fishes, corals, starfishes, sea urchins, seal, walrus, sea horse, sea otter, whale, dolphins etc. Fish is an important source of food for humans. A group of fishes is called as school of fishes.
