Description
In the video Surveying the St. Lawrence students learn how the use of drones, sampling for DNA and fish surveys are helping to measure and monitor the biodiversity of the St. Lawrence River.
In the accompanying presentation and activity, they are introduced to the four main taxonomic groups of fish and explore how the shape of a fish's body influences how and where it lives. After learning about different fish environments, the students design and describe a fish that is adapted to survive in one of them.
General Assessment
Recommendation of how and where to use it
The video and its accompanying activity provide is an excellent resource for the middle school Science classroom. It will help address curriculum outcomes related to biodiversity, ecosystems and water systems on earth.
