In this game, students will become familiar with fish shapes, learn that fish within a given taxonomic family have similar body shapes, and discuss how different body shapes enable fish to survive in their environments. This activity enhances learners' abilities at making careful observations about each shape and supports an understanding that there are many different kinds of fish, each adapted to its own environment. This standards-based activity includes wrap-up suggestions and background for educators. [Activity is publicly available through a web crawler capture on Archive.org.]
