My author Teresa, in liaison with the Association for Science Education, has created a supporting rock pool teaching resource. It is a downloadable PDF that can either be shown on the whiteboard or printed to create a classroom display.
Teachers: please Download this colourful marine life whiteboard resource to give you further information and WOW! facts about all the rock pool creatures and seaweed shown on the poster.
The PDF can also be printed in colour (landscape at 77% scale) to produce a stunning classroom display. There are 18 A4 colour sheets with photographs and information for the marine animals and seaweed featured.
Paul Naylor Great British Marine Animals 4rd Edition – ISBN 978-0-9522831-7-1. The wonderful diversity of animals that live in British seas are colourful, beautiful and have an amazing range of intriguing lifestyles. Even those we think of as familiar show surprising ways of getting food, defending themselves, reproducing and interacting with one another. In the rock pools, limpets fight for territory, sea anemones seize their prey with superbly armed tentacles, crabs hide away to shed their armour to grow and avoid being another crabs dinner and starfish pull open mussels to eat them.
