We had a look at fish and other marine life living in the darkest depts. Here is art Marcus created. First he coloured the pictures printed on black paper, and then we modified it in Photoshop. I think it turned out pretty good! I still have to edit Danae's for her.
Here Danae is doing some map work. She had to find specific locations on the map, and decide if she is likely to see icebergs floating by. Marcus did the same thing, but had to compare 2 locations and consider ocean currents in this response.
Pop-up Barnacle. I was amused to learn that they are crustaceans, not mollusks.
I'm lucky to have to whole Blue Planet DVD set by the BCC - as well as Planet Earth, World of Birds, and another one I can't remember the name of now. What an fantastic resource. The kids enjoy watching it, but I still think it will take us a few years to get through all of them.
