Extreme Animals: Surviving at 194 Degrees

Dive into the world of extreme conditions as students explore the possibility of life at deep sea vents. They analyze temperature changes, ocean currents, and water density while investigating animals' adaptations. From reading data to predicting animal life, this activity engages children in scientific exploration.

  1. Do Animals Cook at 194 Degrees?

  2. Summary: • Students explore temperature changes, water density, and currents in the ocean and the possibility of life in extreme conditions. • Children read, record, and interpret data in a variety of ways. • They predict and investigate animal life near deep sea vents and identify characteristics that allow these animals to survive in extreme settings.

  3. Key Concepts: • Ocean temperatures vary in different locations and different depths • Ocean currents are caused by wind and influence the movement of water • Deep ocean vents are openings in the deep ocean floor that emit heated sea water warmed by molten lava in the Earth’s crust • Animals have the ability to adapt to extreme conditions

  4. Objectives: • Read, show, record, and interpret data • Calculate temperature differences

  5. Objectives: Create a poster of hot and cold items

  6. Objective: Search Internet for ‘Real-Time’ temperature data www.CeNCOOS.org Student data sheet/tables Record temps. Find differences (warmest/coldest) Bar Graph

  7. Objective: observe and record action of hot water in cold water

  8. Objective: Predict animal life/types at deep sea vents

  9. Objective: Choose, research, and draw creature for hallway mural
