Here is clip about factual information on our ocean!!!! Please enjoy!!!!

My fish is called the, "Four eyed fish."  What we are learning in
Science is about the ocean floor.  We had to pick an exotic fish and research
about it and find interesting facts about it.  We also had to draw the fish
and color it.  We had a big piece of blue paper and we had to put our
fish in the bottom, middle, or top of where it lives. My fish lives near the top.

Recently we have been researching types of fish that

we don't typically see in the ocean anymore. This is a 

video about leatherback sea turtle. We had to share facts,

where it lives, interesting facts, etc. We researched animals

like this one because we had to learn about animals that

live in the ocean. We wanted to learn more about animals

and the ocean that we didn't know anymore. ~CG

We made a replica of the ocean floor and we labeled the ocean floor. This showed us what the topography of the ocean floor is like.  We made it with 3 people and we worked on it for a couple of days. It was a fun learning experience!   S.P.

We made a replica of the ocean floor with model magic, two shoeboxes, popsicle sticks and cardboard. We had to assign different items for each of us to go out and buy for our project. Putting it together was a great learning experience for me and very enjoyable. We labeled the different parts of the ocean floor, such as the continental slope and guyot. I had lots of fun putting it together with my friends!  D.O.

   

For the past week everyone in the 6th grade chose a fish and drew a picture of it. We then researched the fish and found interesting facts about the fish and how we can save it from the waste and other harmful things in our ocean. When everyone was done researching and drawing our picture we made our own ocean. Everyone put their fish on a banner of blue paper and there information right nect to their fish. We all pitched in and decorated the banner with ocean features. We hope you enjoy seeing our ocean in the hallway during catholic schools week.

Today in science class we drew the ocean floor. We are researching different fish and taking notes on them. We are drawing them and putting them on our ocean floor picture.We had to find out what layer our ocean creature lives on and also in science lab we made a graph of the depth of the ocean. We colored them. My creature is the sea plant. It got its name because it looks like an old fashion quill pen. My fish is the Saddleback clownfish. Its range is in the western pacific. The other class made an ocean floor also. We are learning about the ocean floor, and all the sea life below. We are also learning the scienctific terms of the ocean floor. We all chose very interesting fish. Our classmates and us are very excited for this project, and more projects in the future. S.D. and N.S.
