One of the longest and largest rivers in the world is called the Amazon River. It is located in South America and is approximately 6400 kilometres (kms) long. That is four times longer than the entire country of New Zealand. Wow!
Scientists believe that there are over 3000 different kinds of fish that live in the Amazon River. Now, that is a lot of fish! To learn more about fish, we went online and found some really cool facts about fish.
For this activity, we are going to provide you with five sentences about fish. Some of them are true and some are them are not. It is your job to read these ‘facts’, and decide whether they are true or false.
On your blog, write out each fact and in CAPITAL LETTERS beside the fact, write the word ‘TRUE’ if it is a true fact or ‘FALSE’ if it is not true.
True or False?
Fish Fact #1: The oldest known fish in the world is a 65 year old Australian lungfish. FALSE
Fish Fact #2: Sharks are the only fish that have eyelids. TRUE
Fish Fact #3: Starfish are a type of fish. FALSE
Fish Fact #4: Fish communicate with each other by making low-pitched sounds (moans, hisses, etc) FALSE
Fish Fact #5: Fish usually swim together in groups called ‘classes.’ FALSE
Kia Ora Alex,
ReplyDeleteYou have done an awesome job figuring out if the fishy facts are true or false. If the 65 year old Lungfish isn’t the oldest fish in the world, what is? Did you find any of the fishy facts interesting? I thought it was interesting that Seahorse were the slowest fish in the world! Did you know that there is a type of Dwarf Seahorse which moves so slowly that people can barely tell that it moves!
I look forward to reading more of your blog soon!
Blog ya later,
Dani
