Morning Meeting
Objective:
Content 01. Model Organisms are organisms that are
used to learn about human common biology.
Content 02. Zebrafish are model organisms because
70% of their genes are found in humans.
Class:
Mini-iPads
4 Stations
Content 03. Wild zebrafish are found in India. They
have horizontal stripes, and based off of physical
characteristics are either male or female. They are
carnivorous.
Content 04. Zebrafish are ideal as model organisms
because, during embryonic development, the embryos
are transparent.
Content 05. Zebrafish have the following anatomical
parts: Eye, mouth, gills, head, fin, tail
Investigate:
Visit zebrafish stations to answer the following
questions:
a. Why are zebrafish used as model organisms?
b. What is unique about their embryonic
development?
c. Observing a specific stage in zebrafish
embryonic development, count the number of
cells at the current stage.
d. The anatomical parts of the zebrafish.
Explain.
Take a photo, with labels, of the following:
a. Adult zebrafish, label the parts
b. Embryonic zebrafish, label the parts
c. Early cell division of an embryonic zebrafish,
label the number of cells and which stage of
development.
d. Adult zebrafish, measure the length, count the
number of stripes, and determine if the
observed zebrafish is a male or female.
