A Fish's Home

    Because the students made fish last class, we discussed that we need to create a habitat for our fish to live in! In order to create a habitat that will be livable for our fish, we needed to know what was in their habitat. Therefor we looked at ocean life pictures and pointed out all the different plants and organisms. We noticed things like sea weed, kelp, anemones, coral reefs, polyps, plankton, starfish, sponges, and many different colors. It was important to understand that ocean life is very bright, colorful, and beautiful.
      For the assignment we used tracing paper to do the work on because the work is going to be back lit like an aquarium. We also used modge podge and torn tissue paper to place the images together. This was done by overlapping colors and making shapes out of torn paper. The students really made some beautiful work that they were really proud of. This project also gets pretty messy.
