In this activity you will investigate the
life cycle of a salmon species that is native to the Pacific
Northwest. Your assignment is to turn in an illustrated life
cycle of the salmon that has both visual and written
components.
Here's what you will need:
- One sheet of 8.5 X 11''
paper
- Colored pencils
- Information on the life cycle of
salmon
Here's what to do:
- Use the information from the salmon book available
for loan in the classroom (pages 32-33) or the links below to find out
about the stages in the life cycle of a species of salmon.
- Using the 11 x 17" paper provided,
create a colored, illustrated life cycle of salmon. You
should have drawings of each major stage in the salmon's
life cycle and brief written descriptions of each
stage.
- Include the names and a description
of at least 6 stages in the life of a Pacific
Salmon.
You're grade will be determined by
assessing the following components:
