The Curiosity Files™ unit studies appreciate the oddball interests of children and draw on these interesting subjects to bring learning to a whole new level.

Begin learning about this outlandish creature and discover some amusing facts by reading “Everything You Never Wanted to Know About Cave Fish”!

Professor Ana Lyze and her research “spy” team specialize in the bizarre aspects of nature. They search land and sea for oddities— such as rare diseases, unique gems, colorless fish, and more—and make each one a star.

Switch on the excitement with science investigations and fun learning! Introduce your child to The Curiosity Files™ and discover some unusually interesting subjects that incite interest in the young and young at heart.

Did you know that cave fish rarely grow beyond 11 centimeters?
Did you know a cave fish can detect prey even though it doesn’t have eyes to see?

Cave Fish will keep your children occupied and answering questions like these:

• What is the difference between evolution and adaptation?
• What are two reasons that cave fish don’t need to have color?
• What grows over a fry’s eyes to render it blind?
• What are the benefits and risks of the cave fish’s habitat?
• And a whole lot more!

From science to art, children will think creatively and expand their knowledge of each subject while exploring the interesting subject of cave fish. You’ll be positively amazed how easily these sightless swimmers open your children’s eyes to subjects they otherwise lack interest in. The Write Stuff will encourage your child’s grammar and writing skills with assignments for writing a story or newspaper article. Using the cave fish theme, students will practice math concepts such as geometric shapes, measurement, addition, and temperature conversion. Plus, find two levels of vocabulary lists and spelling worksheets: elementary and middle/high school.

In the Lab, your children can work to Build a Cave Fish Habitat (Diorama) or try the sensory experiment. Have fun together as you apply your new knowledge of this unique creature. Study a Good Old Days history lesson about the conservation and preservation of fish and wildlife, create a timeline of the events, apply map skills, and review some geography terms. With lots of game ideas to choose from, you’ll have the whole family involved!

Pull out the scissors and glue and enjoy some creative crafting as you make the clearly fishy art project! Your little ones will love snacking on the Dark Cave-Water Gelatin Treat and working their crayon skills on their own coloring page. You’ll also find a hands-on project complete with special needs modifications. Teach your children how God is able to strengthen and equip them to function well and adapt in any circumstance, no matter what. And don’t forget to make a Cave Fish Fact Files folder to add to your collection of cards from each amazing topic in the wonderful Curiosity Files™ series.
