First Grade

“Fish Bowl Habitat”

• Create a Fish Bowl Habitat with fish. 

• Habitat - the natural home or environment of an animal, plant, or other organism. (Where animals live)

• Inform students they will be creating a fish bowl habitat. Next, ask students what a habitat is. (where animals live)

• Play either or both of the videos below to show how to draw a fish bowl, the fish, and some other elements of the fish bowl.

• Have students begin with a pencil to draw their Fish Bowl Habitat. Then trace over the pencil lines with a Black Crayon.

• Next, have them use their crayons (NO Oil Crayons) to color in their fish bowl.

• You may draw and color as many fish as you want to; just make sure they fit in the bowl :-)

• Also, the fish in your fish bowl should be swimming in different directions.

• Below are two YouTube videos to help you with drawing fish.
