As many of you parents probably know because you've had to help your kids, the students have been presenting PowerPoints that they have made about a marine animal of their choice. The most important part of the presentation was to realize what amazing adaptations animals have in order to live in the ocean environment (how they deal with salinity, cold temperatures, pressure, etc.). These are called abiotic factors (things that affect living organisms, but that are not alive - that's what abiotic means). Depending on how quickly students work through the presentations, some classes will start a small project on the layers of the Earth. They will make a foldable - a fun way to present information and keep it organized.
