Today’s kick start was to learn about Submarine’s and either draw one on paper, colour one in using website or draw one on Google draw. I decided to do all 3 and for my drawing on paper I removed the background and added in one from Google search.
Can you spot the camouflaged sea animal in the first picture?
Did you know:
- submarines are called subs for short.
- scientists use submarines to explore the ocean and study ocean life.
- a submarine has a ballast tanks that they open to fill with water to let them sink.
- propellers move submarines through water.
- they use engines, batteries, nuclear power or a combination to power the sub.
- use complex equipment to find their way through deep dark oceans.
Kia Ora Alex,
This is Zana from the SLJ commenting team, I am loving all your posts this summer.
I know I say it every time but… what an awesome activity!! I am a big war history nerd so I love to teach and learn about different submarines. My favourite is the Nuclear-powered attack submarines because of their interesting design.
You did an awesome job with this activity, you introduced it well, shared a very interesting fact and your design looks great. My favourite part is definitely the periscope used for searching. What would you use your submarine for? Ocean exploration, travel or something else?
I think I can spot your camouflaged animal, is it another lovely turtle?
Thanks,
Zana Yates
