Salmon Life Cycle

Hello Grade Fives!


Last week you discussed renewable resources, specifically the salmon. On Friday, we go to Stellako to see the salmon spawn. In preparation, I would like you to view the following video: Life Cycle of Salmon and then listen to the Salmon Life Cycle Song.


I would then like you to write a short paragraph describing the salmon life cycle. Ensure that all sentences begin with a capital and end with a period. Please use your best guess spelling for unknown words.


I look forward to reading your paragraphs.
Love, Mrs. French

The song was good!!.The life style was really cool when I saw it.When I watched the video it was really cool how they did all those things.In the song when the bear was catching the fish in his mouth was pretty neat.The best thing of all was that they start in oceans and than lakes than streams than back wear they were born

  4. I learned that,that song was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    i also learned that salmon lay 1000's of eggs.
    They jump up waterfalls just to get to the stream that they were born in. Salmon go through being fingerlings fry's ,and then they spawn then it starts all over again!I knew most of it but it was pretty intresting.

  7. First the mother salmon lays its eggs. The eggs turn into Alvevin. When they get big enough they turn into fry. After one more stage they go into smolt. Once they are smolt they try to stay away from preditors. After this they turn into adult salmon. Then they will go and spawn and their cycle starts all over again.

  8. Dear Mrs.French,

    A fishes life cycle is long. First a salmon lays eggs. The mother and father gaurd the eggs. After a little while the mother dies. Then they hatch they are called a alevin they still have the egg on there back. The next stage is called a smolt. Then they're called parr. The last stage is a adult salmon. Then it happens all over again.

  11. Dear Mrs. French

    The salmon life cycle.The female salmon lay there eggs where they were born in.The eggs take about three months to hatch.When they hatch they are called fry.Then the mother salmon stay with her eggs for protection.

    Then the mother dies.when they are a mew born they have a yolk sack.The yolk sack gives the new born salmon nutriance.Soon after the fry mature into salmon.they have a migration route that all salmon use.

    Soon the salmon grow into full grown adults.then the salmon go back to where they were born and lay her eggs there.then the life cycle starts all over again.

    luv,

  12. The salmon is a incredible creature.Here are some facts about its life cycle.The salmon first start out as an egg.From there they go on to become an eye egg hence the small dot in the centre.From there they become a fry,to a parr,a smolt then a adult.After that they spawn and die.So that's the life cycle of a salmon

First a mother lays her eggs (spawning) and her mate comes and puts clean dirt on top.In two weeks the eggs hatch and they have their yok sack still on and it will fall of eventullay they move to a place where it doesnt have much of a current they eat the bugs off of the rocks . They eat and eat till the grow up and then they find a mate and spawn and that is the life cycle of salmon

  16. Salmon are very interesting.
    Every time a salmon spawns, it lays thousands of eggs! There are six different types of salmon in canada. Salmon are often harvested for food on fish farms along the coast. Those are just a few facts about salmon!

  21. This is a paragraph about salmon I hope you like it lets begin. The cycle begins when thousands of salmon spawn in a river or stream. First the feamale lays thousands of tiny eggs. When she is done the male firtlises the eggs. Weeks later the eggs hatch in to fry. The fry have yoke sacs that they feed on. Soon they travle down stream and then in to the ocean. When they enter the ocean they become jacks then adaults. Soon they half to go back to the stream they were born in and that is my speech

  22. First the mother lays the eggs. Then she burries the eggs and procets them for a couple days. Then they hatch to a fry and remember the smell of where they were born and go to the ocean. Then they turn in to a parr which is a young salmon.They eat alot of bugs and plakton. Then they turn in to smolt fisherman catch some salmon commercail fishing keep the fish but sport fisherman don't keep the fish. Then they turn in to a adult then they spawn in the ocean.

  25. When salmon hach they have a sack still on there stomach for food. Its calld an Avelin. Then it turns into a fry. Then the fry can swimm into the river. Now it is a parr wich is almost 3 inches long. Now it is in the ocean its a smolt. So now the salmon is an adult. Now it is going to swimm up stream to spawn. The salmon has to make a nest to lay her eggs. Then the salmon die to feed nature.

  26. dear,Mrs.french
    The life cycle of a salmon is very complicated.first they are a egg and then they turn into a alvin then they depend on the yolk sack for nourishment until they turn into a frie which after,they turn into a parr and they make there way back to the ocean and they turn into a adult then they stay in the ocean for a while and then when its time they start making there way back to the ocean and there they spawn andcover their eggs with clean gravel and then they die sadly :( But then the life cycle starts again
