Room N is a Bit Fishy

It is all just a little fishy!
We have had two changes of baking soda. The fish are still a little soft but are drying out nicely.

We have had some great discussions about what will be left once we have finished:
 - just bones
 - it will all disappear
 - the eyes have dissolved
 - They are rotting

 This discussion lead to some research - do bones rot down?
Most students said no because the skeleton is the last thing to decompose. Then we moved onto fossils. Some of the students remembered what fossils are composed of - from our Rock unit in Term 2.

Another two weeks and we should be done.
