About This Lesson
If you’ve ever seen a picture of a squid, you may have noticed that they have a bullet-like body. That streamlined shape helps them move quickly through the water and, in some cases, the air! There are more than 280 species of squid in the ocean. Different species share similar body plans and other features, but they also vary in ways that have enabled them to survive in a wide range of habitats. Although all squid species have adapted to their own ecosystems, you can use the common squid we find in the market to examine different structures that are generally present in squid anatomy. You can also use your examination to draw conclusions about how those structures relate to the life functions of that squid. Now, let’s observe a squid and use a squid print to catalog our findings!
