Salmon Science Table

Bring salmon conservation education to students with our Salmon Science Table. With a focus on interactive and hands-on activities, this exhibit facilitates education through exploration of life science, biology, and environmental concepts related to our iconic native coldwater fish. Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery (FISH) educators guide student discovery to support engagement. 
 
The Salmon Science Table is designed for events such as:
  • School science fairs
  • Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) nights
  • Community sustainability events
  • Salmon fry release field trips

All Salmon Science Tables include an introduction to salmon with lifecycle and species identification activities. Depending on program need, the requesting organization selects one or both of our additional modules below to complete their Salmon Science Table experience.

COHO IN THE CURRENT: FISH DISSECTION

How is a salmon’s body designed to help them move through their world?

Dive into an up-close exploration of a coho salmon dissection! Examine both the external and internal anatomy to gain a deeper understanding of how these remarkable creatures navigate their environment. This unique opportunity offers a rare look at a salmon in its spawning phase, revealing the fascinating physiological changes that come with it.

THE RIPPLE EFFECT: MODEL A WATERSHED

How do our actions impact the health and flow of our watershed?

Discover how human activities affect our local watersheds through an engaging, hands-on demonstration. The Enviroscape model highlights key contributors to water pollution and the resulting impact on our local ecosystems. Participants will explore effective management strategies aimed at preventing pollution and protecting our waterways.
