Why don't fish sink to the bottom of the ocean? How does a jellyfish sting it's prey? How do sea stars walk? In this class, we will explore the answers to these questions though project based exploration.

In this 4-lesson, self-paced class, learners will explore 4 different marine animal adaptations through the creation and sharing of activity-based learning projects. 

Each week learners will be provided with text and video video-based content on the following organisms. 

Lesson 1: Sea Stars

This week learners will explore the mechanisms of a sea star's hydrostatic skeleton by simulating it's grip with a turkey baster. 

Lesson 2: Jellyfish

This week learners will explore the anatomy of a jellyfish stinging cell by creating a model.

Lesson 3: Shark Scales

This week learners will explore shark morphology and denticles by creating a model using egg shells.

Lesson 4: Fish Floats

This week learners will explore the adaptations of a fish swim bladder by creating a model.
