Identification

=What is the X-Fish?=

What about this station was confusing, or that you didn't really understand?
When we first started taking pictures we took some we really didn't care for. When we deleted them it wouldn't allow use to go back and take other pictures so we didn't take all of the pictures we wanted. We would have liked to take a few more pictures without diving deeper. The dive deeper just had us take pictures of what we had already done.

The herring picture and the actual herring did not match well...we were thinking it could be the rainbow smelt. Again it was hard to hear while other stations were going Using more types of measurement like masses or caliper to measure mouth sizes, etc.

What are you excited to learn more about after doing this station?
Find or create an dichotomous key to help students practice identifying organisms before they come to the workshop. More hands-on stuff with actual sea creatures Explore the anatomy of fish Seeing the air bladder would be interesting Seeing the insides would also be fun (slicing and gutting)

What was your favorite thing that you did at this station?
Figuring out the different features to compare and contrast. Also taking the recordings and the photographs. Hands-on and taking pictures...being able to move the camera! Making the fish talk The balance between the audio and text was great Ending was good (seeing the scientist backgrounds) Playing with camera was fun, dancing with fish, etc So far we have felt successful at each station- one of our favorite attributes
