Class Experience

Through teacher guided discussion, visuals, clips, and a student created art piece, participants will learn about animal adaptations with a focus on bioluminescence and deep sea creatures. 

A teacher created slideshow will bring students on an informative journey about viperfish, vampire squid, and the Anglerfish. Students will delve into the unique adaptations that allow these creatures to survive in their extreme environment. 

A culminating activity will close the class as students create their own deep sea creature, label its adaptations, and explain how these adaptations help it to survive. 

Students will then share their creations.
