The Blue Planet Challenge -Coral reefs at sea have been closely compared to rainforests on land. Both of these habitats are quite complex and are extremely delicate. Play the Blue Planet Challenge to learn more about the devastating effects human activities can have on coral reefs.

Dive to the Abyss -This activity lets you become a virtual scuba diver who needs to collect samples of animals that live deep within the ocean.

Fun with Food Webs -See if you can put all of the plants and animals in the correct spots for three different types of food webs- meadow, arctic, & pond habitats.
