Take An Aquarium Word Trip With Dictionary.com

To help you get into full teacher and tour-guide mode, we’ve teamed up with Dictionary.com to put together an educational language guide for you to reference as you’re exploring the aquarium with your kids.  Here is an example:

Gill

Fish don’t breathe the same way that humans do. Fish have gills!

A gill is the respiratory organ of aquatic animals that allows them to breathe the oxygen that is dissolved in the water. Water is forced past the fish’s gills, which contain a number of tiny blood vessels. Oxygen seeps into the fish’s blood through these tiny gills, and carbon dioxide seeps out.
