Elementary ocean zones worksheets

Epipelagic Zone

Also known as the sunlight zones, this region has the most light and heat, it goes from the surface to 650 ft. Photosynthesis occurs in this layer and it’s where you’ll find coral reefs.

Mesopelagic Zone

From 656 to 3200 ft, you have the twilight zone some jellyfish, squid and octopuses live in this zone where there is only dim light. There are no plants in this zone.

Bathypelagic Zone

From 3200 to 13,100 ft, the midnight zone is filled with animals with no eyes because they are not needed in the dark but have big mouths and sharp teeth in order to eat anything they may find.

They rely of food and nutrients falling from the upper zones.

Abyssopelagic Zone

At depths up 19,700 ft you’ll find that it is very cold and dark with great pressure near 11,000 sq ft. Many of the fish and squid are bioluminescent meaning they can make light with their own bodies’ chemical reactions.

Hadalpelagic

Few animals live in these trenches and canyons like sponges, sea cucumbers and tubeworms which rely solely on dead or decaying material that falls from the above zones.

Try these fun ocean activities for kids to extend their learning.

    Thank you so much, Monique! I love your science resources. You have the best worksheets on life cycles, and your series on biology this week has been great! I just wish I’d seen this resource when my sons and I covered the ocean zones this past school year. But I’m saving it for the next time we cover it. Thanks again!

    Hi Monique!

    I just stumbled across your printable and have put it to good use with my ocean loving 4 year old-Kyren. I was hoping I could tag you on Instagram where I have posted a few pics of the activity. Please let me know if you have an Insta handle. Thank you so much for these well thought out printables♡
