Begin the lesson by discussing the diverse habitats where fish live, such as oceans, rivers, and lakes. Highlight the difference between saltwater and freshwater environments.

Introduce the concept of fish as cold-blooded animals and explain how their body temperature is influenced by their environment.

Explain the specialized body parts of fish, such as gills, fins, and tails, and their functions in aquatic life.

Discuss the reproductive methods of fish, including egg-laying and live birth, using the example of seahorses.

Watch the video 'Whale Sharks – The Gentle Giants of the Sea' to explore the unique characteristics and behaviors of whale sharks.

Engage students in a discussion about the adaptations of different fish species, such as the moray eel and hammerhead shark.

Have students create a model of a fish using craft materials, focusing on the gills, fins, and tail.

Encourage students to classify different fish species based on their habitats and adaptations.

Assign students to research a specific fish species and present their findings, including its habitat, adaptations, and reproductive methods.

Use the assessment 'Characteristics and Life Cycles of Fish' to evaluate students' understanding of fish biology and life cycles.

Conduct a class discussion to reflect on what students have learned about fish and their unique characteristics.

Encourage students to share their thoughts on how fish adaptations help them survive in their environments.

Administer the 'All About Animals' quiz to assess students' overall understanding of the unit.

For further exploration, students can complete the 'How Do Animals Meet Their Needs?' assessment to understand animal adaptations.
