  • Describe at least two adaptations deep-sea animals have for life in darkness and pressure
  • Explain that hydrothermal vents support life without sunlight through chemical energy
Assessment Prompt

If your child saw footage of glowing deep-sea creatures, could they explain how some animals make their own light and why life can exist even in the deepest, darkest parts of the ocean?
