Week 2 day 1 Activity 3: Something Smells Fishy…

One of the longest and largest rivers in the world is called the Amazon River. It is located in South America and is approximately 6400 kilometres long. That is four times longer than the entire country of New Zealand. for this Activity I had to write out each fact and in CAPITAL LETTERS beside the fact, write the word ‘TRUE’ if it is a true fact or ‘FALSE’ if it is not true.

Fish Fact #1: The oldest known fish in the world is a 65 year old Australian lungfish. TRUE
Fish Fact #2: Sharks are the only fish that have eyelids. TRUE
Fish Fact #3: Starfish are a type of fish. FALSE

Fish Fact #4: Fish communicate with each other by making low-pitched sounds (moans, hisses, etc) TRUE
Fish Fact #5: Fish usually swim together in groups called ‘classes.’ FALSE

  1. Hi Justice!

    Great work with this activity! I like that you have clearly labelled the answer in capital letters, it makes it very easy to find your answer :)

    Can you believe that there is a fish that is 65 years old?! That's super old!!
    I also didn't realise that sharks were the only fish that have eyelids ...that's so interesting!

    I think it's pretty amazing that we have only (apparently) explored about 5% of the ocean floor ...that's a lot of ocean floor left over, there might be some amazing sea beasts we don't even know about!!

    Do you have a favourite sea animal Justice?
    I think mine is turtles - I got to swim around a lot of turtles when I was overseas and I thought they were so cool! They look really graceful when they are swimming through the water.

    Great job with finding the facts Justice!

    Nga Mihi,
    Ellee :)
