  • Life in the Sea

    Fall River Public Library 104 North Main St, Fall River, MA

    Life in the Sea plunges children into the depths of ocean life. Children explore different ocean ecosystems and learn about the plants and animals that live there. Classifying creatures from sharks to sponges gives them a taste of ocean diversity. In Whales to Scale, they compare shark and whale teeth, and measure the size of these incredible predators. Hands-on activities teach the interconnectedness of an ocean food web, and the consequences of overfishing. The Anaglyph Sea Puzzle Take-Home lets children take some 3-D sea creatures home with them. Space is limited; call the children's room to register.
