Students will be exposed to different types of marine animals and understand that marine animals have specific adaptations that allow them to live in a marine environment.
Environmental challenge cards to accompany the Marine Mammal Adaptations activity. These cards tell you what challenge your species must face, and what adaptations you might be able to survive with.
Students become marine animals feeding in the ocean. Students may experience “eating marine debris” or “entanglement” in order to learn more about how this affects animals in the ocean.
Students will use an infrared thermometer to compare the heat of different substrates such as concrete, asphalt, meadows, fens, forest floor, their arm, their neck, etc.
