WHAT | Mark the Shark - students will identify the sharks anatomy 1. On a large diagram of a shark, discuss and label the following parts of the shark: caudal fin (tail), dorsal fins (top), pectoral fins (below), anal fin (back, bottom), nostril, gill slits, teeth, dermal denticles (skin), spiracles, lateral line, liver. 2. OPTIONAL: complete the Mark the Shark Worksheet Swimmin’ Sharks Are We - students will make their own Leopard Shark to reinforce some characteristics of sharks 1. Using a black marker, draw spots all over the gray construction paper. 2. Roll the construction paper to form a long tube and tape together. 3. Cut a mouth out of one end of the tube. 4. Cut out the shark parts template. 5. Glue the two halves of the dorsal fin together then tape it on the top of the tube. Tape the pectoral fins on the bottom left and right of the tube. 6. Glue the two halves of the tail together. On the back end of the tube, push the bottom section inside. Cut a slit in the top. Cut a slit in the front of the tail. Slide the tail slit into the tube slit, and adjust the tail so it fits properly. 7. Draw gills and eyes. Add teeth. |
