Description
This is the "Gold Fish Lab" that supports the lesson labeled Unit 2: Lesson 4: Water Quality and Testing Methods with Temp Lab. I will first spend about 15-20 minutes on the lesson and then get into this lab. I tend to plan this on a longer day as the whole thing takes about 75-90 minutes depending on your preparation and ability to guide the students. You will need small gold fish bowls, GOLD FISH (no other type really works), thermometers, warmed water, ice, timers, and paper towels. This is fun and engaging for the students. I usually put them in groups of 3-4 and have one be the timer, one the recorder and at least 2 count to compare results.
