What’s a fish hotel? It’s a tree that’s fallen in a lake or stream. It’s like a hotel for fish because it provides what they need to survive: food and shelter. Large submerged trees can host entire fish communities!
ABOUT FISH HOTEL KITS
The Fish Hotel Kit is designed to help students learn about the benefits of leaving trees in lakes. The kits are intended to be a Wisconsin fish-focused option for grades 1-5. The teaching guide provides discussion questions and activities and a list of the Wisconsin Science and English Language Arts standards that are met. The kit includes both a fiction and nonfiction book on this topic.
