Science challenge: 20th July 2020
Bioluminescence
In the deepest parts of the ocean creatures adapt to survive. One way they adapt is to create bioluminescent cells to make themselves glow. This helps them to find food and make themselves look dangerous to other predators.
Watch the video below and have a go at creating some bioluminescent cells of your own.
Ocean Zones – The Midnight Zone
Diving deeper into the ocean and we have now reached the third layer of the ocean. It is called the midnight zone. It is between 1,000 and 4,000 metres below the top of the ocean. It is called the midnight zone because there is no sunlight.
Use the videos, websites and photos below to find out:
Can you...
Ocean Zones – The Twilight Zone
Now let’s dive deeper into the ocean and see what we can find out. Next we reach the second layer of the ocean which goes deeper than the sunlight zone. It is called the twlight zone.
Use the documents, PowerPoints and the internet to find out:
Our challenge to you this week is to choose an animal that lives in the Sunlight or Twlight zone. Can you then research this animal and complete the sheet below or make your own poster about your animal?
Ocean Zones – The Sunlight Zone
We have had a look at coast and rockpools. Now lets dive into the ocean and see what we can find out. First, we reach the first and top part of the ocean known as the Sunlight Zone. We have zones of the ocean as it gets deeper and for how far the sunlight can travel into it.

Science Summer Term Challenge...Part 2
Rockpools – Microhabitats
You have had a chance to look rockpools and different plants and creatures that live in them. You can probably now also identify if things in a rockpool are living, dead or never alive. Now let’s look in more detail at the Microhabitat that is a Rockpool.
Use the links below to find out more about Habitats and watch the PowerPoint to find out about some of the different creatures and plants that live in Rockpools.

Our challenge to you this week is to draw or make your own Rock Pool Microhabitat. Can you include:
Rockpools - Living, Dead or Never Alive
You have had a chance to look at the human and physical features of a coastline in geography. Now let's have a look at rockpools!
Use the links below to see what creatures and plants that can be found in them. Take a look at the powerpoint to find out about things that are living, dead or have Never been alive.
