All About Fish: A 5-Day Unit Plan for Kids

Fish are among the most unique and fascinating groups of animals that can be found swimming and inhabiting both freshwater and saltwater habitats alike. With tens of thousands of fish species and a majority of aquatic habitats yet to be observed, fish are also one of the most vast and mysterious animal classification groups on our planet, sparking conversations even in our youngest learners.

In our five-day unit plan, tailored for elementary-aged students, teachers will guide students in investigating more about common characteristics shared by fish, various types of fish, saltwater versus freshwater habitats, the fish life cycle, and adaptations that fish have developed to aid in their survival.

Included in the unit plan are five days’ worth of comprehensive daily lesson plans, engaging activity worksheets, graphic organizers, vocabulary activities, writing prompts, and more! We hope you enjoy discovering more about a wondrous group of underwater animals with so much yet to be uncovered!
