Science
Today in topic we took matters (aka fish) into our own hands and investigated different types of skeletons. To do this we had to be very so-fish-ticated and thorough with our examinations. Using trays filled with a variety of ocean life (octopus, crab, mackerel and tiger prawns) we were able to feel our way around the variety of skeletons before us.
We can o-fish-ally say that we understand the differences between endoskeletons, exoskeletons and hydrostatic skeletons now!
- Endoskeleton - skeleton on the inside (squishy outside but hard inside)
- Exoskeleton - skeleton on the outside (hard outside but squishy inside)
- Hydrostatic - no skeleton but moves using muscle contractions (squishy all over)
Whilst some of us were a bit sceptical at first, we realised we had to stop trouting ourselves as any fin is possible when we have the confidence to give it a go!
Fun task: How many puns can you find in this post? There's at least seven, I'm not squidding!
If you can think of better fish puns, let minnow!
