All "Project BioEYES" programs involve our zebrafish experiment, where adult fish are brought to the school to produce embryos that are raised throughout the week. Our Micro program, designed for fourth and fifth grade students, concentrates on habitat, the needs of embryos, cell structure, anatomical comparisons between humans and fish, and heart functions. All activities below are in PDF form, suitable for printing or projection, and are included in the BioEYES Teacher Manual.
