In science, we're starting a study of water habitats. Students will be learning about different freshwater and salt water habitats. Here are some fun links to find out more about water habitats.
Coral Reefs
From NOAA, this site has pictures of different coral reefs and the plants and animals that live there.
Vernal Pools
Maybe you have a vernal pool in your own backyard! This special habitat is a puddle that is wet through the spring, but dries up in the summer. Many different kinds of animals, like wood frogs and mole salamanders, lay their eggs here.
Chesapeake Bay
Learn about the organisms that live in the Chesapeake Bay.
Rivers and Streams
Learn about rivers and streams at this site. (Links to other habitats are at the top--have fun exploring!)
Tide Pools
Create a tide pool with this interactive tool.
Keep checking for more fun links. And keep learning new information about our water habitats!
