Sea Life Study Kit

Embark on an exciting journey into marine biology with our Sea Life Study Kit! This comprehensive collection allows young scientists to explore ocean life while developing classification and observation skills through hands-on examination of real marine specimens.

The kit includes carefully selected specimens from four major marine phyla:

• Authentic sea shells (cowrie, murex, and turritella)
• Genuine sea stars (knobby and tan varieties)
• Natural coral specimens
• Real sea sponges
• Preserved sand dollar
• Sea biscuit specimen

Through engaging investigation, students will:

• Learn to identify marine specimens using a dichotomous key
• Understand different types of body symmetry
• Study the classification system for marine life
• Explore the characteristics of four major marine phyla
• Develop scientific observation and analysis skills
• Learn about marine animal adaptations and behaviors

The illustrated manual guides students through specimen identification and classification with clear instructions, detailed photographs, and fascinating facts about each creature's role in marine ecosystems. Perfect for homeschool science, classroom demonstrations, or independent study!

This kit includes:

• Sea life specimens

• 2-LS4-1: Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.
• 3-LS3-1: Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms. 
• 3-LS3-2: Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment.
• 3-LS4-3: Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.
