Exploring sea animals

This week we had to make a KWL chart about what we know and want to learn about the sea.

Know

• The ocean is huge, so there is still a lot more to it than we know.
• Many different species of sea creatures.
• Looks blue, but is not technically blue.
• Has different zones.
• Some sea creatures only live in a certain area.

Want to know 

• How deep is the deepest part of the ocean?
• What creatures live in the deeper oceans?
• What lives at the deepest part of the ocean?

In week three for STEAM we researched the different life cycle patterns observed in marine animals. We found that there are four main categories.

1. Oviparous
2. Viviparous
3. Ovoviviparous
4. Metamorphosis

All sea animals have a different reproduction system, like starfish go through metamorphosis.
