Aquaculture, also known as underwater agriculture, is the cultivation of aquatic animals and plants. This lesson plan serves as an introduction to aquaculture and is a fun exercise for students to assess their aquaculture knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Print and cut out as many cards as are needed for the number of students in your class. The cards will be more durable if attached to cardstock and laminated. Use tape to attach one card to each student\u2019s back so that they cannot see their question. Alternatively, punch holes at the top corners of the cards and string them with yarn to make a card \u201cnecklace\u201d; then place a card around each student\u2019s necks with the card in the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are six aquaculture answer cards. Print and cut out as many as are needed, and distribute one to each student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instruct students to walk around the classroom, silently read the questions on their peers\u2019 backs and then provide their answers out loud (guesses are fine). Students should only state their answer and not tell their peer what the question is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each student should seek at least four different answers to the question on their back, writing them down. When they are done, they should sit down and try to guess what their question is, based on the answers they received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After everyone has finished, ask each student to share their answers, then guess what question they think is written on their back. The student should then remove the question card from their back and read it out loud. Ask the student if they think any of their peers\u2019 answers are correct, or if they have a different answer to share. After the student has guessed, tell them the true answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ask for reflections on the question and answers the student shared. Was the student surprised by the true question and true answer? Did their peers answer the question correctly? Were their answers close or far off?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Objectives By the end of this lesson, students will be able to: Overview Aquaculture, also known as underwater agriculture, is the cultivation of aquatic animals and plants.
