What if humans lived underwater? Challenge your class to think how different humans would need to be if we lived in the ocean!

What if the sea was gloopy like ketchup? Your young scientists will have some fun reactions to this question.

Puddle Pals: This is one of our ‘Odd One Out’ activities, that will challenge your pupils to think about the differences and similarities of different objects, in this case, water-dwelling creatures.

Sandy Adventurers: What will your class think is happening in this video featuring baby sea turtles? It’s good to stop and start, giving time for ideas at each stage.

Why can’t fish live on land? An investigation the whole class can take part in, and develop their critical thinking skills.

We hope you enjoy exploring the big blue!
