Hi Steph,
Thanks for participating! I’m interested in seeing where this cohort takes you in regards to the lesson you’ll develop. I think a taxonomy lesson would be very interesting! I know that you’ll be successful with having someone to work with at your school!

Can you see any of it coming out of the other side? It’s possible that it could be the porous area, maybe around the skull of a vertebrate. With all of the invertebrates, I would guess whale.

These tough elements can be found on the anterior portion of the fins and are usually unsegmented. Spines have been used for various reasons, but mainly for protection against predators. In catfish especially, the pectoral spines can be serrated! <…[Read more]
