We are learning about how living things grow and change in our Science & Technology unit. All of the Stage 1 classes at our school are investigating the way Sea Monkeys can grow and change. Sea Monkeys are very tricky creatures that only come to life when they are added to water!

We have been learning all about Sea Monkeys in reading groups too. Did you know that they are a type of Brine Shrimp? Or that the male Sea Monkeys grow whiskers? They really are fascinating creatures!

We are conducting an experiment to see whether Sea Monkeys grow better in the dark or in light. We have placed one of our tanks in a dark spot and one of our tanks in the light. We have made some predictions and we are taking observations to see which Sea Monkeys grow most successfully.
