What students should KNOW Disciplinary Core Idea (DCI) PHENOMENO Practices What students will DO N HOW students will understand Cross Cutting Concepts The puffer fish has unique and distinctive adaptations to defend itself Observe pictures and/or video of puffer fish and list structures, Puffer Fish as well as ideas for how these structures help the puffer fish. List questions about the puffer fish’s habitat and predators. Use “if, and, then” structure. Students think in terms of how specific adaptations – structures – Function to help the puffer fish survive.
