Imagine sailing on a ship in the ocean and glancing out towards the horizon when suddenly the largest animal on Earth rises up from the waters, shooting a spout of water several feet into the air. What is this gigantic marine mammal? How about the giant deep-sea squid that has arms which span 150 feet and can completely wrap around a large ship's hull. And then there is the anglerfish. It has a mouth full of teeth and lives 7 miles below the ocean's surface, a true sea monster. This fish carries its own fishing lure on top of its head. These are only a few of the many fascinating marine animals that live in the oceans. Actually, the oceans provide habitats for more animals than anywhere else on Earth; in fact, 80% of all life on Earth lives in the ocean. The ocean has yet to give up all its secrets. Each day new marine animals are being discovered. Creative Experiences in Science: Marine Life is designed to help students explore marine life in a creative way. Each story is followed by a vocabulary lesson, comprehension questions, and creative-thinking questions and activities. At the end of the book a research unit is included which provides information on how to lead students through the research process. Using this book, students investigate the plants and animals that make their homes in the largest habitat on Earth: the oceans. The students' experiences with this information should encourage them to want to learn more about the mysterious plants and animals that live in and around the oceans. Grades 3–5.
