Alaska Fish & Game came to our school to lead our third graders through a salmon dissection. We learned about the salmon's body- inside and out. It was fascinating and the kids loved it! Thank you, Mr. Oliver!
Salmon Anatomy & Life Cycle
This music video was written by a teacher (theFrizzlives) and is a fun way to see and remember the stages of the salmon's life.
This is a link to Alaska Fish & Game's website. It includes a "Salmon Rap" song, a link to a live salmon cam (sometimes it is off-line), and there's an interactive life cycle diagram with information about each stage.
Compare and contrast what you already know about Pacific Alaska salmon to the information on this site published by Scottish Natural Heritage & Galloway Fisheries Trust. Where are these salmon located? How are these salmon similar and different from the Pacific Alaska salmon we have been studying?
