Live Oak Fishing Part 2

Last week the fifth graders left to Live Oak and got to go fishing. We learned about the science behind fish.  We learned that fish don't technically breathe out their gills, the water flows through allowing them to, well, breathe without dying! The fish swim using their fins (obviously), but fish move their fins side to side which makes them able to swim. They stay afloat by using a thing called a swim bladder. "The fish were weird and hard to catch.", said Ahad. "I almost caught a fish, and I felt the excitement surging through me, but he got away from me!", exclaimed Spencer. "The fish was slimy so I dropped it on the deck.", squirmed John. See you next time on FTE Science!!!!
