The entire educational programme was verified by the pupils from the seventh grade of elementary school in Žďár nad Sázavou, mid- March. In the pond farm, the execution was led by a local fisherman. The pupils saw a live carp, zander, poke and even saw the hatcheries. The fisherman also explained the yearly works at the farm pounds. Pupils filed out the worksheet without any problems and they even had a variety of aids at their disposal. During the brainstorming activity I gained an overview of what the children imagine behind the term fish and pound management. Based on the concepts that were obtained thanks to the brainstorming activity the pupils created their own mind maps. In a task with elements of research teaching, the pupils found out how the gas bladder of fish works. The educational programme in practice is functional and usable in the Žďár region.
