Ocean Connections: Explain Marine Life Through Habitat and Food Webs

Help primary pupils make sense of the ocean as a connected system, rather than memorising disconnected marine vocabulary. Ocean Connections is for educators and families who want children to explain habitats, adaptations, feeding relationships and survival with greater accuracy.

The habitat-first approach begins with what an organism needs and the conditions it faces. Pupils then connect those needs to physical features, place producers before consumers, draw arrows to show feeding relationships and trace how change moves through a food web.

Alongside accessible explanations, the eBook includes practical thinking tools such as the Habitat First Explanation Grid. Use it to guide discussion, structure answers and encourage curiosity about rock pools, coral reefs and the deep sea.
