THE LESSON PLAN ~

Fish On! has been written for educators teaching grades four through twelve. The lesson plan includes extensive background information, procedure and assessment options, extension activities, student worksheets, quiz questions, sample compositions, and a thorough glossary. 

A unique species identification section includes a profile of each state-fish, containing a beautifully illustrated physical description, reproductive and feeding behaviors, and habitat requirements. 

THE STATE-FISH ART CONTEST ~

Wildlife Forever's STATE-FISH ART culminates in a national art contest for children who have actively participated in the Fish On! lesson. Students use their newly acquired knowledge to create a learning portfolio, which includes an original state-fish art illustration and a one-page essay about their chosen state-fish.
