I am a scientist with super powers. I go places
most people cannot. I study the ocean.

Thys studies life in
the ocean.

12 ENGAGE

About 9 out of every 10 living things live in the
ocean. Each drop of water has living things.

Thys swims with
a mola mola.

I like the mola mola. It is an ocean sunfish.
I use radios to track where a mola goes.

Plastic may be harming molas. Plastic bags and
bottles wash into the ocean.

16 ENGAGE

Seals eat plastic. Sea turtles eat plastic. Molas
may eat plastic. Plastic can kill them.

LEAD CHANGE

You can help the ocean. Use less plastic. Use reusable 17

bags and bottles. Never drop plastic on the ground.

It could wash into the ocean.

Make a Fossil

See how a fossil is made.

You need:

• modelling clay or play dough
• hard objects, such as seashell, sticks, other small, hard

objects

• glue

To do:

1. Flatten the clay into pieces so that each piece is larger than
the hard objects.

2. Place an object, such as a shell, on one of the clay pieces and
press it into the clay to make an impression.

3. Remove the object from the clay, leaving an impression in
the clay.

4. Fill the impression with glue and let dry. This could take some
time. The deeper the impression, the more time it will take

for the glue to dry.

What happens:

You made two kinds of fossils. When you pressed the hard object
into the clay, you created an impression, called a mould. When
you filled the impression with glue, you made a cast.
