Students will slowly change the water temperature of a fish and determine how changing the temperature affects the fish's respiration rate. Students make a prediction about what will happen to the respiration rate of a fish if it is exposed to different temperatures. After data is gathered, students take an average and create a line graph that shows how the respiration rate changed at the different temperatures. Analysis questions ask students to consider reasons why temperature changes respiration and why ectothermic animals would have different results than endothermic animals.
