Zones of the Ocean

We have been learning about the zones in the ocean and the different sea creatures that are adapted to live there: the sunlight zone where seaweed was grow, the twilight zone which still gets some sunlight filtering down and the midnight zone where they is no light at all (the vast layers of seawater above blocks it out completely).

We watched videos, read library books and researched on the internet to investigate the different environments and sea life.  Then we made out own classroom display of the ocean.
We started with the midnight zone.  We shaded the blue paint with black to get a very deep shade of blue.
The twilight zone was next,.
We blended in plenty of white paint to make the correct shade of blue for the sunlight zone.
We added the continental shelf, seaweed and weeds, but most importantly, all the sea creatures we had researched and grouped by zone.
