Fish and Amphibians
Tell these groups apart by skin, breathing, and young.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 18
- Fish live in water. Most have wet scales, breathe with gills, and lay eggs in water.
- Amphibians live a double life. Young ones, like tadpoles, live in water and breathe with gills.
- Most adults grow lungs and move onto land, but their skin must stay moist.
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:
- S5L1.a — Develop a model that illustrates how animals are sorted into groups (vertebrate and invertebrate) and how vertebrates are sorted into groups (fish, amphibian, reptile, bird, and mammal) using data from multiple sources.
