Description
Are your students learning about the salmon life cycle? Are you planning a trip to a fish hatchery? This engaging project allows students to research the life cycle of a salmon, take notes, write a report and complete the salmon craft. This project integrates your science unit on Ecology, beginning research, and informational writing. Students are able to work in groups to study each stage of the salmon life cycle, work independently, or in writing centers. Students are guided through their research by the images of the egg, alevin, fry, parr, smolt, salmon, and spawning salmon. The finished project can be fanned out in a circular shape to show the never-ending life cycle of salmon.
This Salmon project includes:
- a list of recommended resources for teachers
- salmon life cycle word wall cards
- salmon life cycle graphic organizer for students to label
- graphic organizers for taking notes
- publishing pages in the fan format
- complete answer keys
Process:
Students use the provided note-taking sheets to research the salmon's life cycle.
They then transfer the notes onto the fans. The note taking sheets are filled with writing prompts to help students write, and the publishing pages match the prewriting sheets exactly, make the publishing process simple!
This project is ideal for:
- practicing note-taking
- introducing research
- for center work
- fast finishers
- independent projects
- group work
- as a supplement to your science unit on ecology
- as learning before a fish hatchery visit
