1. Ocean Life Zones
2. Ocean life is determined by many factors:A: Sunlight – Producers require sunlight for photosynthesis
3. Ocean life is determined by many factors:B: Temperature – most animals live near the surface where it is warmer
4. Ocean life is determined by many factors:C: Water Pressure is less at the surface allowing for different kinds of life
5. Animals and plants can be classified into three major groupsA: Plankton – very small animals that float on or near the surface
6. Animals and plants can be classified into three major groupsB: Nekton – animals that can swim with their own power
7. Animals and plants can be classified into three major groupsC: Benthos – animals that live on the ocean floor
8. List and describe the major ocean life zonesA: Intertidal – lies between the low and high tide lines
9. List and describe the major ocean life zonesB: Sunlight – Extends from the low tide line to the continental shelf
10. List and describe the major ocean life zonesC: Open Ocean is divided into two areas 1. Twilight 2. Midnight
11. List and describe the major ocean life zones

13. Create a foldableLabel and color each section IntertidalSunlightPhotic ZoneTwilight OceanMidnightAphotic zone
14. Cut between each color to make four flapsTurn your foldable so you can write on the white stripIntertidalSunlightPhotic ZoneTwilight OceanMidnightAphotic zoneIntertidalBetween low and high tides

16. Cut between each color to make four flapsTurn your foldable so you can write on the white stripIntertidalSunlightPhotic ZoneTwilight OceanMidnightAphotic zoneOpen Ocean-Continental shelf down to about 2000 m

18. Open the intertidal flap and write on the left hand side IntertidalIntertidalSunlightPhotic ZoneTwilight OceanMidnightAphotic zoneHalf the day it is underwater, the other half it is dry. These are the estuaries.
19. Open the Sunlight flap and write on the left hand sideSunlightIntertidalSunlightPhotic ZoneTwilight OceanMidnightAphotic zoneCoastal shoreline. Presence of light and photosynthesis means most life located here.
20. Open the Open ocean flap and write on the left hand sideTwilight OceanIntertidalSunlightPhotic ZoneTwilight OceanMidnightAphotic zoneVery little sunlight, temperatures right above freezing. Diversity of life decreases the deeper you go.
21. Open the Midnight ocean flap and write on the left hand sideMidnight OceanIntertidalSunlightPhotic ZoneTwilight OceanMidnightAphotic zoneBottom of the ocean. No sunlight, freezing temperatures, few nutrients. Most life is chemo-synthetic.
22. Color each section the following colorIntertidalSunlightPhotic ZoneTwilight OceanMidnightAphotic zone
23. Use the links below to find and list three animals that live in each zone. Write these on the right hand side of each tab.Intertidal Sunlight ZoneTwilight ZoneMidnight Zone
