The students did an activity where they drew cards with three random adaptations: one for shape, one for coloring, and one for mouth/feeding. For some, the cards they were given worked very well together and could be a real fish. For other, they didn't quite complement each other. For these, we had discussion about which parts did not work well, and why.
The students also chose a habitat that would be suitable for the newly created fish, as well as its likely diet. Below are some of the creations!
