Schooling

=What do X-Fish do?=

What about this station was confusing, or that you didn't really understand?
There seemed to be a time lapse when you were taking a video of the schooling, so that you didn't really capture what you meant to capture in the video. Process of video and amount of time was confusing per video It was tough to come up with questions because the fish weren't doing much. Not clear on the objective of the station. Are the fish in this tank schooling or just moving around the limited space available? Some vocabulary was/could be challenging for students Sound was hard-distracted by other teams etc Swimming/schooling was long-maybe include more information on schooling to lessen the time schooling

What are you excited to learn more about after doing this station?
About the lateral lines and how they work (pressure? electrical stimuli?); about the ecological advantages of schooling. How much does our presence affect their behavior in this tank:? When one fish is coming at another is there fish etiquette? Patterns for behavior? Do the different size fish tend to hang with others their size? Does size matter in the swimming order? Fish senses? How do they keep from hitting each other? Does their position allow them to see better? Are their leaders in schools? What causes them to move? Fish communication systems - what do scientists know so far?

**What was your favorite thing that you did at this station?**
