Sixth Grade Dissects Trout

Sixth graders dissected Rainbow Trout as part of the Trout in the Classroom project through Nebraska Games and Parks. Students explored the external and internal anatomy of the fish to better understand their structure and adaptations. The project started before the fish eggs arrived in January and has included research writing, communicating with schools across the country in a quilt square exchange, and will culminate with a field trip to release the fingerings raised in the classroom tank.
