Our Sea

• When you think of the sea, what do you think of?
  Do you think of deep waters with many creatures?
  Do you think of salty waters with beautiful
  coral? Do you think of free-floating, microscopic
  plankton and waves? If so, then you hit the
  money! The sea is a very interesting place with
  many creatures and plants.

Oh, the wonderful sea! layoutsparks.com

Life in the Sea

  flounder, the horseshoe crabs, makos. These fish
  have some facts like . The makos are one of the
  fastest sharks. They swim 30 miles per hour and
  with short bursts up to 45 miles per hour. The

  dinosaurs. Our groups favorite thing about the
  horseshoe crabs is they have blue blood!

  of their head, like other fish. As they develop
  the one eye across the head and ends up on the
  other side. Enough of the baby flounder, Adult

We depend on the sea

• People depend on many things that live in the
  ocean. People eat a lot of animals and other
  things that live in the ocean. Like shellfish,
  fish and seaweed. The ocean currents affects the
  climate. So people who live near the coastal
  waters, Winters arent as cold and summers arent
  as hot compared to their inland neighbors.

We depend on the sea

• Phytoplankton produces their own food through
  Photosynthesis as land plants do. During this
  process, they release the oxygen we depend upon.
  More than 50 of the oxygen in our atmosphere is
  produced in the worlds ocean.

What we can do

• Waste pollutes, so pick up after your pet. Waste
  pollutes water, polluted waters are unhealthy for
  wildlife. We dont like to swim in polluted
  waters, and food from those waters may be unsafe
  for us to eat.

You should help the ocean by picking up trash, as
these kids are doing. biomessixth10.wikispaces.co
