| As FBI agents your students will have the unique opportunity to dive deep into the kelp forests of Southern California and investigate many "suspects"!
The class will include the following:
- Introduction: The students will be notified that an agent from the Fish Bureau of Investigation has gone missing and it is their duty to find her. One fish at a time, students will eliminate fish that are not the “fishnapper” using the following guidelines.
- - Shape: A “guest speaker” will give the students an overview on fish shape and they will cross off all fish that do not fall into the correct category.
- - Where it lives: A “guest speaker” will give the students an overview on where the “fishnapper” may be living in the water column. The students will cross off all fish that do not fall into the correct category.
- - Size: A “guest speaker” will give the students an overview on sizes of fish and they will cross off all fish that do not fall into the correct category.
- - Color: A “guest speaker” will give the students an overview on fish color and they will cross off all fish that do not fall into the correct category. When they are done crossing off the final few fish they will have the answer to the mystery of who fishnapped the FBI agent!
- - Wrap up: Towards the end of the program students will be challenged with a second mystery. We will virtually travel to the North Pacific, Tropical Pacific and back to Southern California as we look at the different fish that live in each of these regions. Students will use what they have learned to solve the second mystery.
