Since this year is the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture, I thought I’d begin with a post about fish. Learning about fish is relevant to the biological sciences curriculum when we explore living things, their features, where they live, what they need and how they grow.
I decided to jot down some of my questions and write answers to them. We all know what fish are, right? There’s nothing difficult about describing a fish. But when I really started to think about what I know about fish, I realised I had more questions than answers and that explaining what a fish is, isn’t as easy as I thought.
These are some of the questions raised when I thought about fish. Perhaps you have others. If so, please list them in the comments so I can research the answers. Note: While I know answers to some of my questions, as I’m sure you do too, I’m not sharing answers in this post as I have more research to do. The answers will have to wait for another time.

- How do fish swim?
- Where do fish live?
- How do fish breathe under water?

Fascinating topic for kids, who are naturally interested in fish whether in the nearby pond, rive or larger ocean. Love your plans for teachers!

Was that as a result of the tsunami, Kate?

not sure, there were plenty of coconuts with husks on … thought they were from Tonga as I’ve never seen that before! Maybe just the odd one up past Yeppoon from the local trees.

Interesting. I hadn’t heard of coconuts washing up.

I meant after the tsunami. But I don’t think I’ve ever encountered coconuts washed up on beaches I’ve visited.
