Squid: The Inside Story

Close up of gloved hands dissecting squid

Grades 3-5 & 6-8

Overview

How do squid swim? Catch prey? Eat? Reproduce? Is ink a means to escape predators? These are just some of the questions students will come up with when they observe squid swimming, eating, and reproducing. Through external explorations, observations, and dissection of a fresh squid, students will find evidence to answer their own questions and explain the functions of various structures they find on and in their squid.
