As part of our Under the Sea study, A3 and A4 got to see a real squid. The children were scared to touch it at first. Here is a video of the children touching the squid.
Later in the day, we dissected the squid to look at its body parts.
This is the squid's beak inside its mouth. The beak is for biting food into small pieces.
We cut off the squid's fins. Squids use their fins for swimming.
This is Ayush holding a tentacle. Squids have 2 large feeding tentacles and 8 shorter tentacles (arms).
This is one of the squid's teeth. The teeth are found at the ends of the two large feeding tentacles.
Look at the squid's eye. A squid has two very large eyes.
What an interesting thing to do! Was it smelly? Ayush I was wondering what the tentacle felt like - was it sqishy? Fantastic pictures, A4!
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting cutting up the squid, A3 liked looking at the teeth on the tentacles. They looked like mini sharks teeth.

Inside the squid's tummy it was very yucky.
ReplyDeleteI saw the squid's brain inside its eye.

Hi Room 3
ReplyDeleteThe squid made us feel very queasy especially the smell. Some of us could still smell the squid on our hands at the end of the day!
Watching that gave Loveday and I a craving for crispy fried squid, so we are going to go to Yum Char on Sunday and eat some!! YumYum.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I have only just found your blog and I love it so much I think the idea to have the students examine the squid is a very good, but also probably a very smelly idea! Great to see the photographs posted on your blog so you can share your learning with others.
