They’re fun to look at in an aquarium or to try to catch in a lake, but did you know that fish breathe? But how can you see this in action without putting your head underwater? Here is a simple science activity
Tortoises are not good swimmers, but sometimes enter water to drink or bathe. They have a largely vegetarian diet, whereas turtles are mainly omnivorous with marine species eatingjellyfish. Both lay their eggs on land. How do tortoises and turtles breathe?
Whales and dolphins are mammals, and they, like humans, breathe air into their lungs. They don’t have gills, therefore they can’t breathe underwater like fish. They breathe via ablowholes, which are situated on the top of their skulls. What kind of food does a squid eat? They have ...
How do sea otters use kelp for protection? How do whales adapt to the marine biome? How does an adult amphibian get oxygen? How do jellyfish protect themselves from predators? Is a dolphin a fish, amphibian or a mammal? How do amphibians move in water? How do sponges reproduce? How doe...
In some parts of the world, you will even be able to snorkel with monk seals, sea lions, penguins and schools of stingless jellyfish. There’s nearly no limit to the underwater sights you can make while snorkeling. Close encounters with sea lions (here inGardner Island, Galápagos) are ...
How does a jellyfish obtain food? How do bony fish breathe? How do crayfish excrete? Does an octopus need water to breathe? How does an amoeba move? How do jawless fish move? How do amphibians move in water? How do cnidarians respire? How do cartilaginous fish move? How do Planaria ...
do this project at home. And I was flying around the country visiting aquariums to work on this project, and I just remember like, wait a minute. I used to have aquariums at home. I used to work in a pet shop where we sold jellyfish. This is a thing I could probably do, at ...
Without this important system, we would be awfully jellyfish-like! This is another section that builds some wonderful vocabulary as we learn all about the cranium, mandible, scapula, radius, ulna, femur, patella, phalanges and lots more as we create a skeleton. ...
Try a new hobby, such as underwater basket weaving Go to readings and push away your jealousy and do your best to feel excited for the writer whose book just came out—a writer who has obviously heard back already Read And my favorite: ...
I’ve studied how bioluminescent organisms, like jellyfish and deep-sea fish, use light for communication and survival in extreme conditions, as the idea that life can thrive in the most unlikely environments, by illuminating its surroundings, inspires me. These creatures have taught me to ...
