Dissection of Fish

Grade 5 is currently studying the vertebrate fish in Biology. This week they learned about the internal structure of the fish. As practical activity, the students had the opportunity to participate in the dissection of a freshwater fish.
After an external inspection of the fish, they cut into the fish and looked at the internal organs. The students were fascinated by the movement of the gill filaments in the water. They found all the organs they were looking for, but agreed that they are not as beautifully colored as those in the textbook.
