What is this unit study about?

The deep sea starts about 660 feet below the surface, where sunlight cannot reach. In this world of total darkness and crushing pressure, animals have evolved some of the most extraordinary abilities on our planet: glowing bodies, expandable jaws, transparent skin, and lights that dangle in front of their faces to lure prey. Your child will meet the anglerfish, the giant squid, the fangtooth fish, the vampire squid, the blobfish, and many others — each one a reminder that our planet still holds real wonders waiting to be explored.

Throughout the unit, your child will:

  • Practice counting, addition, and data skills
  • Build reading comprehension and vocabulary
  • Explore fascinating deep sea animals and how they survive
  • Learn about ocean zones and the science of bioluminescence
  • Develop critical thinking and comparison skills
  • Practice sequencing, sorting, and cause-and-effect reasoning
  • Design their own original deep sea creature
  • Build confidence through hands-on activities and creative drawing
