This week we are studying all about the life of jellyfish. We have found that jellyfish are quite the interesting animal...they actually have no brain and no heart! WOW! Who would have guessed that an animal living out in the deep blue sea has no brain! So here is what we are wondering...
1. How do jellyfish live if they don't have a heart?
2. Can a jellyfish still sting you if it is not alive?
3. How does a jellyfish breathe?
4. Can jellyfish survive on land and water?
5. Why have do jellyfish have tentacles?
We would love for you to help us answer these questions. Also, if you have any pictures or videos please email to Ms. Race at amber.race@doverschools.net
Did you know there are FRESHWATER jellyfish that live in streams in Arkansas? We found some several years ago in Big Piney!

ReplyDeleteHello Ms.Race's class!! It is so exciting that you are learning about jellyfish!! They are strange little creatures! Let me tell you a little bit that I know about jellyfish! There are many different kinds of jellyfish. Some are small and some are large! Some float in the water and some swim! Jellyfish have no heart or brain! Do you know how they breathe???? They absorb oxygen from the water!! Isn't that cool!! Jellyfish have tentacles that help them push food into their mouth! They can also sting! My family went on vacation this summer to Orange Beach, Alabama.... Josie actually caught a jellyfish with her crab net so we could look at it more closely! One day when we were at the beach the lifeguards actually shut the beach down and made everyone get out of the water because there were so many jellyfish and they did not want anyone to get hurt! I have found a couple of websites that I thought maybe your class could look at and I have also emailed Ms.Race a picture of the jellyfish that Josie caught at the beach!!! Hope you all have a GREAT day!!! Ms.Race's class is AWESOME!!!!

ReplyDeleteWOW! We have learned so much!!! You guys have been so helpful with cool facts, websites, and pictures. Here is another tip we learned....when you are at the beach and you see a dead jellyfish...DO NOT TOUCH IT!!! They can still sting you when they are dead! Who would have ever guessed that!
