Acadia National Park, located on the coast of the state of Maine, has many tidepools. Tidepools are made when the ocean leaves behind water on rocks. Many animals depend on tidepools.
Have students observe the Sea Star in a Tidepool video and generate I Notice, I wonder statements. These statements help promote descriptive observations, thoughtful questions, & relatable connection and can be used to complement a student-centered discussion.
For more information on sea stars, read the Creature Feature: Sea Stars in Acadia article.
