In this mini-lesson, students explore what kinds of animals live near the bottom of the ocean and how scientists are able to determine the ocean's depth.
Here are some writing prompts to help students reflect on the mini-lesson. Feel free to copy and paste them into an assignment.
Bonus Activity: Think about a lake or pond near where you live. How deep do you think it is? What does the bottom look like? You don’t have sonar, so how could you figure it out? Draw a picture of your plan and describe how you would figure out what the bottom of the lake or pond looks like.
