Virtual Tide Pool Exploration

Can’t make it to the rocky shore, but looking to for something new to explore? This Prezi-style presentation allows you to peek under rocks in order to learn more about your favorite tide pool creatures, such as where to find them, their unique adaptations, and how to observe them safely. The presentation can be viewed from beginning to end by clicking the arrows at the bottom of the screen, or you can bounce around to learn about your favorite creatures by clicking on the rocks and blurbs.

After exploring:

Compete against family members, classmates, or yourself to test your knowledge of the tide pools by creating a Kahoot-style game show!
Play hide and seek! Can you find the tortoiseshell limpet in the Virtual Tide Pool? How about the razor clam?
Find creatures that look similar to each other. Which ones look different?
Think about which creature you think has the best camouflage. Can you draw a picture of an animal that is blending in with its surroundings?
