Fish are animals that swim in water and are found in lakes, rivers, streams, and oceans. There are three types of fish: bony fish, cartilage fish, and fish without jaws. Bony fish, such as bass, are the most common and are named for their skeletons which are made of bones. Bony fish have a swim bladder that allows them to adjust their depth in the water by putting more air in the bladder to rise or releasing some air to sink. Cartilage fish, such as sharks, have a skeleton made of cartilage, which is strong, light, and can bend. They don't have a swim bladder. Lampreys are a type of jawless…mehr

Fish are animals that swim in water and are found in lakes, rivers, streams, and oceans. There are three types of fish: bony fish, cartilage fish, and fish without jaws. Bony fish, such as bass, are the most common and are named for their skeletons which are made of bones. Bony fish have a swim bladder that allows them to adjust their depth in the water by putting more air in the bladder to rise or releasing some air to sink. Cartilage fish, such as sharks, have a skeleton made of cartilage, which is strong, light, and can bend. They don't have a swim bladder. Lampreys are a type of jawless fish that eat with a round mouth lined with lots of teeth. Fish are an important food for people and animals, and most of the fish that are eaten are bony fish, including salmon, tuna, and trout.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Rebecca Woodbury received her Ph.D. in biophysical chemistry from the University of New Mexico in 1992. She was awarded a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of New Mexico, followed by a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of California, Berkeley.While home schooling her three children, Dr. Woodbury was unable to find a curriculum that provided a solid foundation in science. She left academia, and using her scientific background coupled with her love of learning, she developed a series of science books for kids.The Real Science-4-Kids curriculum provides students with a solid foundation in science and gives them the tools to evaluate scientific data on their own. "We should not rely on the 'experts' but instead learn how to critically evaluate every scientific claim," states Dr. Woodbury."In these uncertain times with so many social, scientific, and economic problems, it is not enough to teach our kids what to learn. We must also teach them how to learn, and we must encourage our kids to learn from others. Part of learning from others is to know how to engage in productive debate."The Real Science-4-Kids curriculum, with its engaging, kid-friendly Student Textbooks; Laboratory Notebooks full of real science experiments; and easy to use Teacher's Manuals, provides kids with a solid science education in chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy. This curriculum is used in all 50 states in the US and many other countries. Dr. Woodbury and her publishing team continue to develop and test new products, including leveled readers and mini books, at the Real Science-4-Kids Albuquerque headquarters.
