Welcome back from Spring Break!
One of the goals I have for students during our Puget Sound unit is for them to be able to identify common Pacific Northwest marine plants and animals. Knowing the names of native plants and animals helps students become aware of details and diversity, develop appreciation for our diversity and impress out of town friends and relatives. 🙂 Really.
Students, I know it’s been like … years … away from the classroom, but can you indentify the plants and animals in the pictures below?

I think the first picture is a sea anomone. The second one I think is a sea jelly or jelly fish. The third picture looks like a peice of sea weed or sea lettuce. Last but not least the picture looks like some straw grass or type of weed.
