This shark can weigh from 1,500 to over 2,000 pounds, and can also be up to 21 feet in length. These Great Whites can be found in the coastal surface waters of all major oceans like Australia, South Africa, California and Mexico. ]]> 2017-09-08 17:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/307571/j82cpd16iyn5/wish/185960058 307571 https://padlet.com/307571/j82cpd16iyn5/wish/186021146 Water temperature plays and important role in the ocean. This is because the water temperature in certain parts of the ocean has to be at a certain temperature in order to substain certain animals. Differences in water temperature can also have a big impact on the physical and chemical properties of water. It can also effect the metabolic rates of the oceans organisms and can also effect habitats and varietys of aquatic life. ]]> 2017-09-08 19:21:03 UTC https://padlet.com/307571/j82cpd16iyn5/wish/186021146 307571 https://padlet.com/307571/j82cpd16iyn5/wish/186935802 There are different types of seaweed, seaweed can be microscopic like plankton. Some seaweed is large like kelp . Seaweed can be found in a variety of different colors, brown, red, green, and black. You can sometimes find seaweed washed up on beaches. ]]> 2017-09-12 18:53:00 UTC https://padlet.com/307571/j82cpd16iyn5/wish/186935802 307571 https://padlet.com/307571/j82cpd16iyn5/wish/186936384 A Whale is a very large mammal with a streamlined hairless body. They have a horizontal tail fin as well as a blow hole on top of the head used for breathing. Blue whales belong to the species of Baleen whales, they are up to 29.9 meters in length and can weigh up to 170 tons. Blue whales are known to live from 80 to about 110 years. The Blue whales is the largest animal to ever exist. Today about 10,000 to 25,000 blue whales can be found living in the ocean.

Algae contains chlorophyll it is not able to grow because it does not have roots, true stems, or vascular tissue. ]]> 2017-09-12 19:04:28 UTC https://padlet.com/307571/j82cpd16iyn5/wish/186940401 307571 https://padlet.com/307571/j82cpd16iyn5/wish/186941639 Kelp is a type of seaweed that belongs to the brown algae. Kelp grows in shallow oceans and underwater forests. The types of animals that live in kelp forests are sea stars, anemones and jellyfish. Kelp is full of many good nutrients and can even be health benefiting. ]]> 2017-09-12 19:07:32 UTC https://padlet.com/307571/j82cpd16iyn5/wish/186941639 307571 https://padlet.com/307571/j82cpd16iyn5/wish/186944591 Fish are gill breathing underwater animals. The Yellow tang fish is a saltwater fish, this fish is a very popular aquarium fish. These fish are capable of eating meat based foods, but mostly eat seaweed and algae found on rocks. You can find these brightly colored fish in the waters of Hawaii and east Japan in the Pacific Ocean. ]]> 2017-09-12 19:14:30 UTC https://padlet.com/307571/j82cpd16iyn5/wish/186944591 307571 https://padlet.com/307571/j82cpd16iyn5/wish/186945185 Climate is the common average weather conditions at a particular place over a long period of time. The ocean has an effect the climate by storing and transporting huge amounts of heat and carbon dioxide. Changes in the oceans temperatures effect the climate. ]]> 2017-09-12 19:15:59 UTC https://padlet.com/307571/j82cpd16iyn5/wish/186945185 307571 https://padlet.com/307571/j82cpd16iyn5/wish/186947343 An organism is an individual plant  animal or a single celled life form.
