This Week in Science #7

1. This week in science what I did was make a video with my group. We each put our work to make our video.  I made slide about the vegetation in the Epipelagic Zone. I also did a slide about the secondary consumers in the ocean like the octopus. I drew a before picture of the ocean.  It had drawings of all the animals in the ocean by layer. Lastly I drew a picture of my animal I created. It was called the octosoa and it was an after picture of the octopus. The ocean dried out because of global warming. The octopus evolved because of their new environment. The got new features like their claws and a sponge like skin that absorbed and stored water to keep itself moist. 

2. What I learned this week in science is that the epipelagic zone is the only water zone that has plants. That it because that layer is the only layer that has direct sunlight. Some of the plants in the epipelagic zone are algae, phytoplankton, and seaweed. I learned about the landforms of the epipelagic zone. I saw the ocean currents of the ocean. I learned about the different animals that are in each zone. I learned about primary consumers, like the shark, and secondary consumers, like the whale, and the octopus.
