42. Which zone has the most diverse array of life?
diverse= different types

43. Surprisingly, the BENTHIC zone has the greatest VARIETY of living things anywhere on Earth!
WHY do you think that is?

44. Surprisingly, the BENTHIC zone has the greatest VARIETY of living things anywhere on Earth!
It’s the LARGEST part of our Oceans!

45. Surprisingly, the BENTHIC zone has the greatest VARIETY of living things anywhere on Earth!
It’s the LARGEST part of our Oceans!

49. LET’S DRAW the OCEAN ZONES!
Use the colored pencils….

50. Friday activity booklet…

51. Friday, you will do a foldable book on the 3 ocean zones!
Ms. Fields will collect each of yours by Monday the latest!
In words AND/OR pictures, you will include the following:
For each zone, identify 5 living things found in EACH zone with one interesting fact about each thing.
Follow the rubric she has. Use your time wisely in class.

52. Monday, you will make an AQUATIC/TERRESTRIAL FOOD WEB!
This will be due Tuesday as soon as you get to class
Your food web should have 15 species, & include at least 5 aquatic and 5 terrestrial living things.
You should have at least 2 producers (living things that make their own food like plants or chemosynthesizers)
1 must be a type of phytoplankton (species name please)
Arrow point towards the EATER!
Use CHROMEBOOKS and/or your 3 ocean zones booklets to help.
Use words AND/OR art, but be clear and accurate.

53. What kind of living things do we find in the ocean?

54. Ocean Life Lab
Work in your pairs

55. Be a MARINE BIOLOGIST!!!
You will need to identify 5 aquatic species of life and fill out the sheets I hand out!

56. Remember our 3 ocean zones!

57. Our ocean has 3 ecosystems:
1. SHORE = INTERTIDAL ZONE 2. CONTINENTAL SHELF = NERITIC ZONE coral reefs kelp forests 3. DEEP ZONE = BENTHIC ZONE

58. Each pair will get a bag of ocean life and you must classify at least 5.
FILL IN YOUR TABLE COMPLETELY!

59. Each pair will get a bag of ocean life and you must classify at least 5.
FILL IN YOUR SHEETS COMPLETELY!

60. Each pair will get a bag of ocean life and you must classify at least 3-5.
FILL IN YOUR SHEETS COMPLETELY!
PRESENT YOUR MOST INTERESTING SAMPLE!

61. Clean-up….

62. How much shallow shelf/neritic zone varies around the world.
