To learn that the sea is a big world with bright places, dark places, homes, and many different living things
💬 The Top of the Sea Is Sparkly and Bright
The sea is a very big world of water. Sea water tastes salty when you lick it. Near the top, sunlight comes in and makes it sparkly and bright. Small fish live there, swimming smoothly through the water.
🤔 The top of the sea is bright, isn’t it? Where are the fish swimming?
💬 The Shallow Sea Is a Home for Living Things
In the shallow parts of the sea, there are coral and seaweed. Coral and seaweed are like “homes” for living things. Fish play hide-and-seek, and crabs walk on the sand. There are places for everyone to live under the sea, too.
🤔 Where are the crab and the starfish? Let’s try to find them!
💬 The Deep Sea Gets Darker and Darker
The sea gets deeper as you go down. In deep places, sunlight has a hard time reaching, so it gets darker and darker. In the deep sea, there are jellyfish that float as they swim, and squid that move smoothly. Some fish can even glow with their own little light.
🤔 In the dark sea, which living thing is glowing?
💬 There Is Life on the Sea Floor, Too
At the very bottom of the sea, there is the sea floor. There are sand, rocks, and seashells there. There are also living things that live on the sea floor, such as octopuses, starfish, and sea cucumbers. The sea is like one big home where many lives live, from top to bottom.
