Description
In this hands-on lesson, students are introduced to the unique organisms of the mesopelagic (twilight) zone and their specialized adaptations. They receive a set of Deep Sea ID Cards and carefully handle real preserved specimens. Then, students research each species to learn about adaptations such as bioluminescence and vertical migration. Teachers can guide a discussion on how these traits help deep-sea organisms survive in low-light, food-limited environments.
