STAGE
2 - THE FISH VIDEO
| Instructions
- The Fish Video |
| 1. |
You
will be experiencing a FISH EXPERIMENT to learn
about observation, experimentation, and prediction.
You will also see how experimentation can help develop
useful theories. The FISH EXPERIMENT was a special
experiment conducted aboard the Space Shuttle to
observe how certain fish can adapt to microgravity.

| 2. |
The
Fish Experiment was conducted aboard the Space Shuttle.
Scientists had noted that some fish don’t
have an inner ear. This experiment was conducted
in order to find out how fish react to microgravity
and also how fish orient themselves in space. By
observing the fish and their reactions to lights,
certain observations can be made. These observations
can lead to new ideas which help humans in their
space adventures. In this activity, you will conduct
some experiments in an "interactive" program
to learn more about adaptation to microgravity.

After
observing the video, discuss the following questions
with your fellow team members:
| a. |
What
is the experiment about? |
| b. |
At
the start of the movie, note the fish in the
tank and the particular way they are swimming
around. Why are they swimming in this unique
way? |
| c. |
Describe
differences you see in the 2 types of fish
tanks shown in the video. Are the fish acting
differently in these 2 tanks? |
