Grade 8 Week 15: Ocean Environments

This week we look at conditions at the varying zones of our oceans, the animals that live there, and our effects on those areas.

What are ocean conditions near shore?
What environments do you find near shore?
How are animals adapted to surviving ocean fluctuations in littoral(intertidal) areas?

How do conditions change as we move out to open (pelagic) ocean?

How are organisms adapted to life there as distance for shore changes?

...as depth changes?

Contract Week 15 has you looking at human influences on the shoreline, or creating a poster for the wall of a specific ocean zone.
