Similarities and Differences

 

Common Clownfish Small *Tank Bred* - Aquatics To Your Door

We have been looking closely at the markings on the Clown Fish.  There are lots of other fish that also have stripes.

 

We talked about the similarities and differences between the stripes.  This is what we noticed:

 

*  The stripes are different colours

*  Some of the fish have 2 colours and some of the fish have 3 or 4 colours.

*  Some fish have more stripes

*  Some of the stripes go up and down and some go across the body. 

New Vocabulary

We used the words horizontal and vertical to describe these different stripes.

We noticed that these animals have stripes all over their bodies.  We looked for animals that only have stripes on certain parts of their bodies. These are some of the animals we found.
