4. 1.Concept- Given any one of the four tidal zones, the learner will be able to point out the animals that can or cannot be touched with 90% accuracy. 2.Concept- Given a trip to the tide pool, the learner will be able to verbally identify every group of sea anemones and barnacles that cannot be removed from their home. 3.Fact- Given a trip to the tide pool, the learner will be able to point out and verbally identify at least one of the visible tidal zones. 4.Concept- Given a picture of the tidal zones and ten animals that live in the zones, the learner will be able to match at least eight animals to the zone in which they live. 5.Fact- Given a list of all the animals that live in the four tidal zones, the learner will be able to pick one animal from each zone and verbally describe the adaptations that allows that animal to live in its tidal zone.

5. Welcome to the tide pools! Today we will be learning about the tidal zones. Click on the high zone to get started.

6. Let your adventure begin! Click on what you would like to learn about first. After your adventure click on this bubble for an action game! adventure After your adventure click on this bubble for an action game! adventure

7. So kids the two types of plants that we see in the high zone are seaweed and algae. Click on the one you would like to see first.

8. Hey, it’s my good friend the Seaweed! How did you get all the way up here? Hi Mr. Krab! I got up here because when the waves crash, I break into pieces. My seaweed family is scattered throughout all of the zones. One interesting fact about me is that I make my own food through a process called photosynthesis. I get all my energy from the sun!

9. Hey Algea, you are everywhere? Ohhhh no…watch out for that oil spill…. Click on the oil spill to see how it affects the ocean life. Hey Algea, you are everywhere? Ohhhh no…watch out for that oil spill…. Click on the oil spill to see how it affects the ocean life. Guess what Mr. Krab, I’m not a plant! I’m a Protista which is a fungi. I have many different names because I hold many shapes and colors. I also provide a home and nutrients to many small animals.

10. There are several different kinds of animals that live in the high zone. Click on any one to check them out!

11. Sea Anemones Hey Sea Anemone! Fancy seeing you here.

12. Sea Stars Oh my gosh, my buddies the Sea Stars! I haven’t seen you in so long! Hey Mr. Krab! We actually can live in any of the zones, but we mostly live here. We cling to rocks with our strong suction cups. If we lose one of our arms, we can grow another one! We are safe to touch, but make sure you put us back in our homes!

13. Chitons Chiton, buddy! How have you been? Oh hey Mr. Krab, I didn’t see you there! I was busy trying to find some algae to eat. I love it here in the high zone. I spend my day moving around the rocks, and I am safe from predators because of the armored plates on my back. I am safe to touch, but make sure to put me back in my home.

14. Shore Crabs A crab for Mr. Krab! How are you shore crab, you sure look crabby! I’m not crabby, just defensive! My sharp pinchers clamp down on prey for me to eat! I also use them to protect myself, so look, but don’t pick me up. My hard shell protects me from other animals, as well as the pounding of the waves!

15. Mussels and Barnacles Mussels, and Barnacles, I always see you two together! We’re pals, but we sometimes live apart. Barnacles feed by filtering our food from the water. We are safe to touch, but don’t take us away! We mussels are pals, and live in big groups! We feed by filtering food from the water. We are tough and ok to touch, but be gentle, because you can still crack our shells.

16. Hermit Crabs Hi Hermit Crab! You look different today. Have you been working out? Hi Mr. Krab! I haven’t been working out, but when I get bigger, I move out of my old shell and find another one. If you do pick me up, only grab my shell, because my pinchers hurt! I like to hide under the rocks and run away from predators.

17. Sea Snails Sea snail, my old pal! How have you been? Slow moving and safe, thanks for asking! I move slowly across the tide pools, but my shell protects me from predators. I can also live underwater! My favorite food is algae, and I can live up to 100 years!

18. Welcome to characteristics of the High Tide Zone! This is a harsh environment for plants and animals. This zone is exposed to pounding waves during high tide and the baking sun during low tide.

19. Plants and animals that live here need to be able survive the rough waves and endure long periods of time without water. PLANTSANIMALS

20. When the tide is low, some animals protect themselves by living in shallow pools of water trapped in the rocks or they dry out. The rocks in these tide pools make a good shelter.

21. Many animals have features that help them survive such as shells—like me! The high zone animals have the ability to stay attached to the rocks as the waves crash down.

22. Some animals have hard flat shells to protect them from the impact of waves.

23. Depending on the high zone climate, a lot of different organisms can be found here.

24. Many plants do not have roots to take up nutrients. Instead they cling to rocks with things that are called holdfasts.

25. Oh No! Water bottle what are you doing here? I was just gathering up your friends to be recycled. Oh No! Water bottle what are you doing here? I was just gathering up your friends to be recycled. I know Mr. Krabs, someone just threw me in! I was supposed to be recycled into something new, like my friends, and now we’re stuck here. Do you know how long it takes us to break down?

26. Trash in our oceans takes a long time to break down or break up into little tiny pieces. Plastic Bottles take 450 Years! Rubber Balls and tires 50- 80 Years! Plastic Bags 10-20 Years! Glass Bottles 1 Million Years! All of this trash is harmful to ocean animals and plants. Trash in our oceans takes a long time to break down or break up into little tiny pieces.

27. AHHH! What’s all this black stuff? C’mon I’ll fight you off. AHHH! What’s all this black stuff? C’mon I’ll fight you off. Oh No Mr. Krabs, this is not good!

28. Oil comes into my home from cars, boats and accidents on oil rigs or barges. Chemicals like oil can cause animals to choke, get sick, starve or drown. It can also harm plants and make people sick. Look at my poor friends!
