Begin with an engaging question: 'What makes fish unique among animals?' to spark curiosity and introduce the topic.

Watch the video 'All About Fish' to provide an overview of fish characteristics and habitats. This video supports understanding by explaining the biological and ecological aspects of fish.

Discuss the different types of habitats where fish live, such as oceans, streams, rivers, and lakes. Highlight how these environments support fish life.

Explain the physical characteristics of fish, including scales, fins, and tails, and how these features aid in their survival and movement.

Explore how fish use gills to breathe by discussing the process of taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.

Watch the video 'Why We DON'T Need to be Scared of Sharks' to understand the ecological importance of sharks and dispel common myths.

Have students create a model of a fish using craft materials to demonstrate understanding of fish anatomy and adaptations.

Use the assessment 'What Are the Characteristics of Fish?' to reinforce learning by having students identify and describe fish traits.

Assign students to research and present on a specific type of fish, such as reef fish, sharks, rays, eels, or seahorses.

Conduct a class discussion to review key concepts, ensuring students can identify fish habitats and characteristics.

Have students write a short reflection on what they learned about fish and how their understanding has changed.

Use the 'Classifying and Comparing Animals' assessment to evaluate students' ability to classify fish and compare them with other animals.

Encourage students to explore further by watching 'Whale Sharks – The Gentle Giants of the Sea' to understand the unique features and conservation needs of whale sharks.
