Project Report | Jul 18, 2014
Perch Dissection

By Melissa Froman | Vice President of Development

At our Inukai Family Club, the theme of our programming has not only been fun, but educational too. During our Nature Exploration Camp for incoming 4th through 6th graders, our Club members got to experience firsthand what it’s like to be a marine biologist.

Each member was paired with one or two other members, and they were able to dissect a real perch specimen. Each perch came with its own disposable tray and tools (all age appropriate), so our members had everything needed to get the most out of their experience. Members were instructed on the anatomy of the perch, and were able to locate and observe the various parts and organs of the fish. Some of our perch even had eggs!

Our members loved every minute of this activity! They not only got to learn a lot about the perch, but also how cool science can really be.
