Exploring the inside of Eels

The inside of the Eel 

                                                            The outside of the eel


On the 12th of march the year 5,6s dissected Eels they were the ones that we caught on camp.  Theses are the photos that I attached to my blog. Dissecting is a really nervous subject for teacher because we have to pick up sharp objects and some people be silly so It is great that Makaraka school lets us dissect animals or things Because we normally do this at high school. Why are we doing this? To explore Issues In the eel or where It came out of.Also Knowing how scientists live wouldn't that be  interesting inmagine smelling the lovely Eel smell. What stood out to me was the process that we had to do. From catching them to bringing them back to school and de slimming them but That was all part of the fun at makaraka school. I really enjoyed learning about the inside of the eel and thinking about what It aculty  eats and how It survives its  life . Theses are some facts that I found

• There are over 400 species of eel.

Eels live in both saltwater and fresh water.Eels have gills and very sharp teeth 

Isn't that Just so Interesting have you ever read about Eels 

Also have you ever been Eel catching well I definitely have been because that is where I get my knowledge from.Well not just from Eeling also from my friends and teachers.
