can be more than a snack. It can teach you about a group of animals called echinoderms!

Echinoderms are a group of animals that live on the ocean oor. Some examples of echinoderms include sea stars (star sh), sea urchins and sea cucumbers

Banana and a Sea Star

Peel a banana. Carefully split a banana peel into five fairly equal strips. Leave them connected at one end.

Lay your banana peel out flat, and you have the design of a sea star.

Where do echinoderms live?

Many echinoderms live in tide pools. Tide pools are pools that are left behind when the ocean moves away from the shore at low tide. Each time the tide returns, the tide pools are covered with water, and new plants and animals can get it. You can visit the same tide pool and see something different each time!

The Power

of Five

In each column, draw the missing sea star that continues the pattern. Have an adult check your answers.

What’s in a name?

Use the code to see what the name echinoderm means.

Banana and a Sea Urchin Banana and a Sea Cucumber

Pull the tips of your banana peel and hold them together on both ends.

Imagine the empty spaces are filled in and that the whole thing is covered with spines.

What do you have? A sea urchin!

How many di erences can you nd between the two tide pool pictures?

Turn your banana “urchin” on its side and stretch it out. You now have a banana peel sea cucumber!

feet on

Walking on Tube Feet

Echinoderms don’t have legs or feet. How do they move from one place to another?

They have hundreds of tiny tube feet on the underside of their bodies.

Tube feet are like tiny suction cups that help the echinoderms grip onto surfaces and move. They can move across the land and up and down rocky surfaces.

What’s inside a mermaid’s purse?

Sometimes a strange, dark brown object washes into a tide pool. This is called a “mermaid’s purse.” These little pouches are actually the discarded eggcases for some familiar marine animals. Circle every other letter to see which ones.

SUDOKU

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
