WHY? Fish are wonderful at moving through the water. Their speed, shape, body surface and the type of water flow across their body determines how the fish moves. This movement is similar to the gliding of a bird through the air. Thus aerodynamic forces are at work under the sea as well in the air. ASSESSMENT: Can the student communicate what they observed?

Student is able to communicate that the fish can move through the water because of four of the following dynamics: their speed, shape, body surface, and type of water flow across their body. Student is able to communicate that the fish can move through the water because of three of the following dynamics: their speed, shape, and body surface. Student is able to communicate that the fish can move through the water because of two of the following dynamics: their speed and shape. Student is able to communicate that the fish can move through the water.
