4 Swim Bladders Enrichment Activity for Lesson 10-2 Skills: interpreting, synthesizing Read the passage. Then, answer the questions that follow. Swim Bladders Most bony fish have a special organ called a swim bladder. A swim bladder is a thin sac that acts like a balloon. A bony fish uses its swim bladder to move up and down in the water. The swim bladder works because it changes the fish s density. Density is the mass of something per a given volume. Different things can have different densities. Water has a density of 1 g/ml. A fish is denser than water, so it sinks in water. By filling and emptying its swim bladder with air, a fish can change its own density. Without air in the swim bladder, its density is greater than water. This causes the fish to sink. If the swim bladder fills with air, the density of the fish becomes less than water. This causes the fish to rise in the water. If the density of the fish equals the density of water, the fish stays at its current depth. The fish will not rise or sink. This process allows the fish to control its depth in the water without using its fins. Action of Swim Bladder Density Result lets air out greater than water fish sinks fills with air less than water fish rises 1. What is a swim bladder? 2. What is density? 3. What is the density of water? _ 4. How does a bony fish stay at different levels in the water? 5.

Possible answers: People learn new things by imitating, memorizing, reading, listening, watching, practicing, experimenting, and doing. Different individuals learn better using different methods. Some people are visual learners and retain concepts they have read. Other people are auditory learners and retain concepts they have heard. Other people need to use two or three various techniques in order to retain information they have learned. 22. Ectothermic animals have a body temperature that varies with the environment. That means as the temperature of their surroundings changes, the animal s body temperature also changes. Fish, amphibians and reptiles are examples of ectothermic, or cold-blooded animals. Endothermic animals have a body temperature that remains constant. This means that the temperature of the environment can change but the animal s temperature is regulated by internal body functions. Mammals and birds are endothermic animals, or warm-blooded. (c) by Pearson Education, Inc./Globe Fearon/Pearson Learning Group. All rights reserved. Animals With Backbones: CHAPTER 10, page 23
