Terrific Alaskan Tidepool Travels

by  Alaska SeaLife Center

Program image

Students will take a virtual beach walk from the touch tank area of the Alaska SeaLife Center. We will interact with and discuss the tide pool creatures who live in these tanks, while learning about the physical adaptations that allow them to live in varying tide zones. Featured are: sea anemones, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, sea stars, hermit crabs, and octopus

Program Details

Format

1. This program begins by looking at the coastline near the SeaLife center while discussing what tides are.
2. We then discuss the levels of the tide zone, and what adaptations animals would need to survive in these zones.
3. We then closely examine the living invertebrates in our touch tank, using their behavior and physical adaptations to determine which tidal zones they might be found in.
4. Students complete a sticker worksheet that puts intertidal animals in their appropriate tidal habitat.
5. We conclude with time for questions and answers while watching our touch tank animals.

Objectives

Students will be able to:
• Recognize and compare/contrast common tidepool animals.
• Describe tidepool animal defenses and behaviors.
• Understand that the intertidal zone is a challenging habitat to live in, and specific adaptations allow animals to survive in different levels of the intertidal zone.
