Video summary

A look at how the creatures who live in a rock pool survive.

The presenter begins by talking about the tide. With the help of an expert, Marcus, they explore rock pool life and how the sea anemone and seaweed anchor themselves to rocks for stability. Finally, they look at how a crab protects itself and how it can re-grow a leg or claw if it loses one.

This clip comes from the 成人快手 series, KS1 Science Clips, Plants and Animals in the Local Environment.

Teacher Notes

  • As part of a topic on animals and their habitats, pupils could be presented with a blank picture of a rock pool and a range of animals and plants to select from.
  • They can decide which creatures would live in the rock pool and explain to the class or group why they made their choices.
  • Once they have watched the clip, the pupils could discuss the similar features rock pool creatures possess - suckers and camouflage, for example.
  • They could design their own rock pool creature, taking into account colour and ability to withstand the force of the tides.

This clip is relevant for teaching Science at KS1 in England and Wales, Foundation and KS1 in Northern Ireland, and early level and first level in Scotland.
