Discover the wonders that lie under the sea! Go on a research expedition to find out more about the underwater world.
1.
Salt water covers nearly three quarters of the earth. The plants and animals underwater are as plentiful and diverse as what we see on land. The ocean is still vastly unexplored and new species are discovered each year.
2.
Pretend you are a marine biologist. Select an ocean animal to research. What does this creature look like? How does it live? What does it eat? Use a piece of construction paper to record your findings on a fact sheet.
3.
Based on your research, draw a realistic picture of your sea animal. Cut out the picture. Create a habitat “aquarium” for your animal using a recycled glass or plastic container. Give the container a watery appearance using Crystal Effects Window Markers.
4.
Place the animal in the aquarium. Add additional recycled household items or illustrations you create to embellish the aquarium. Try to make your animal and its environment as realistic as possible.
5.
Present the poster and aquarium to your class. Share the information you have learned through this underwater adventure!
