Visiting the aquarium? Check out these standard-aligned lesson plans for your visit! Thanks to an IMLS grant that resulted in our new Ridges to Rivers gallery, we were also able to create standard aligned lesson plans for K-12 for this exhibit.
Pick your grade level, download the materials, and bring it along with your visit to learn more about our native freshwater fish and their habitat.
Kindergarten – 1st Grade
Discover what is living and non-living within our aquarium exhibits!
2nd – 3rd Grade
What’s the difference between rivers, lakes, and streams? More than just the amount of water!
4th – 5th Grade
A review on adaptations and how they can tell you what an animal eats and their habitat!
6th – 8th Grade
How do scientists group fish into families and identify them? Come and find out!
9th – 12th Grade
Do fish exhibit the same behaviors at all hours of the day or throughout the different seasons? Find out through your own behavioral study!
We will continue to update this resource hub to include other exhibits and standards, so stay tuned!
