1. Welcome to the Twilight
Zone
By Ms. Jaysa’s UWACS
Summer Program Class
July 2013

2. there are 3 zones in the
ocean
• Sunlit zone: receives the most light; the
smallest zone; supports 90% of ocean life;
coral lives here
• Twilight zone: less light is filtered here; crabs,
viper fish, and swordfish live here
• Midnight zone: no light can penetrate here;
food is hard to find; animals here are blind or
have very large eyes

3. at the beginning of the summer we
made a KWL chart:
we used this chart to guide what
animals we would learn about
throughout the summer.

20. McWane Center

23. We also used our new geography
program, StrataLogica
• maps, globes, atlases, and charts come
alive in an environment where teachers and
students can actively engage with our multi-
layered world and easily share content and
collaborate in ways never before imagined
• Completely web-based and powered by
the Google Earth™
• It was especially used when we learned
about the 5 oceans and where each sea
creature lived

25. We learned the 5 oceans!

26. The students also had the
opportunity to write their own books
about the ocean.

spent with these awesome kids!
Thank you for sending them to UWACS
this summer!
