Let's go fishing together. The lesson looks at the giant catfish from two perspectives. Mathematically, pupils develop a scatter plot and a best-fit line for the size, while others take a scientific look at the reasons for their declining numbers. The groups then share their information in a non-traditional manner, either eliminating speech or visuals.
