This lesson plan introduces students to five different fish species found in the Ottawa area and teaches them to match different local fish to their respective habitats. The activity encourages teamwork and understanding of the natural environment. Students learn about the importance of habitat features for fish survival and participate in an over-under relay race to help their fish find its way home. The lesson plan is designed for 20-40 minutes and is geared for young students (grades K-3).
