This is Lesson 1.38 (“Learning About Fish”) from the Grow Your PALS Program Guide, part of the National FFA Mentoring Program’s Environmental Science unit. Through a card-search game, a memory game, and a field trip to a local fish farm or pet store, students learn to identify the parts of a fish (eyes, mouth, fins, scales, gills) and what each part does. It includes a fish-part labeling worksheet with answer key.
