Amazing Animals 2 Part 1

Welcome to Round 2 of Amazing Animals Week! Today we’ll look for the end of the ocean with Splash and Bubbles, make a water bottle fish, learn how fish breathe, and sing a counting song.

Watch Together

In this episode of Splash and Bubbles, (Season 1, Episode 38: “The End of the Ocean”), The Reeftown Rangers try to find the end of the ocean. After watching, you might ask your child:

• Do you remember the different types of water?

• What kind of water do the Reeftown Rangers live in?

• How about Sal the rainbow salmon?

• Where would you explore if you were a Reeftown Ranger?

Water Bottle Fish Activity

Lots of plastic ends up in the ocean, where it can harm some pretty amazing animals. We can keep plastic out of the ocean by recycling plastic water bottles and carrying reusable ones. This upcycling activity also helps keep a plastic bottle out of the ocean by turning it into a fish!

Find the full activity here.

How Fish Breathe Experiment

Fish don’t breathe air like we do, they use their gills! This simple experiment from Preschool Powol Packets helps children understand the way gills act as filters to draw oxygen out of the water fish breathe.
