What can !:lOU see at the beach? 

What animals live there? 

Now read and discover 

more about the beach!

The Beach 

Ever1J da1J the ocean goes up the 

beach at high tide, and it goes 

down the beach at low tide. 

The ocean moves with the wind, too. 

The wind makes waves. The ocean 

is salt water. It's big and strong. 

The ocean can break rocks and 

shells into pieces. The pieces of rock 

and shell hit the water and other 

rocks. Then the1J get ver1J little. This 

is how the ocean makes rocks and 

shells into sand.

Sand and Rocks 

What can 1:Jou see in the sand and 

on the rocks at the beach? 

At low tide the tellin shell hides 

under the sand. It hides there 

because other animals like to eat 

it. It gets food and water with one 

of its siphons. 

The green flat periwinkle hides in 

green seaweed. Can 1:JOU see it here? 

The barnacle lives on rocks. Its shell 

grows onto the rocks, so it doesn't 

move when there are waves. 

Some ba rnacles 

grow on whales!

In RockpoQls 

The starfish can put its stomach out of 

its mouth! Then it can eat this big clam. 

At low tide, the ocean moves down the 

beach. Then you can find rockpools. 

Crabs eat starfish, and starfish eat 

clams. This is called a food chain. 

Let's look in a 

rockpool. Here's 

a crab. It gets food 

with its big, strong 

claws. It eats 

barnacles, starfish, 

and other little 

animals. It eats 

plants, too. 

+ Go to page 22 for activities.

Near the Beach 

ManlJ fish and other little animals 

live in the water near the beach. 

There's lots of food for them there. 

The seahorse eats verlJ little fish. 

It eats verlJ, verlJ little animals 

and plants called plankton, too. 

The prawn eats seaweed and little 

animals. 

See how this seahorse hides in the 

seaweed. In this green seaweed, 

the seahorse is green, but in lJellow 

seaweed, it's lJellow! 

Go to page 23 for activities.

The dolphin jumps out of the water, 

and little fish are scared. Thel] swim 

awal], and then the dolphin can 

catch them! The dolphin gets air 

with a blowhole on its head. 

You can see some amazing animals 

in the ocean. 

On sunnl] dal]s, the basking shark 

swims at the top of the ocean. It can 

eat lots of plankton there. Plankton 

is its favorite food. 

Here's a seal. The seal lives in the 

ocean and on land. When it swims 

in the ocean, it puts its head out of 

the water to get air. 


The pelican can 

catch lots of fish 

in its big bill. It 

opens its bill and 

the water goes 

out. Then it can 

eat the fish. 

A pelican can get 

11 liters of water 

in its bill! 

Oystercatchers don't eat oysters! 

They eat mussels. They open the 

shells with their bill. 

Many birds live near the beach . 

There's lots of food for them there. 

The puffin lives on cliffs. When it's 

hungry, it flies down and swim 

under the ocean. Then it catchc 

its favorite fish!

aUi, 

At the Coast 

At the coast near the beach, there 

are cliffs. Some waves hit hills on the 

coast, and pieces of land break into 

the ocean. This makes cliffs. 

Sometimes there are holes in the 

cliffs. The ocean hits the holes and 

makes caves. 

The ocean can make arches and 

stacks, too. 

At the coast, the sand moves in 

the wind. Then the sand makes 

hills called sand dunes. 

Sand dunes can move 

100 meters ina yea r.

You can do man-y things at the 

beach! You can kitesurf, and the 

wind moves -you on the ocean. You 

can snorkel, too. Then -you can see 

amazing fish in the water. 

The ocean is big and strong. 

Don't go awa-y from the people 

-you know. Look for flags - the-y tell 

-you where and when -you can swim. 

Have fun at the beach, but 

remember the ocean plants and 

animals. IZeep the beach clean for 

plants, animals, and other people .

What do animals do with their 

e!:)es? The!:) look for food. The duck 

looks for food in water. 

The gecko has big e!:)es. It can 

see well at night. It looks for insects 

to eat. 

E!:)es help to protect animals from 

other animals. The crab has two 

e!:)es on top of its bod!:). It can see 

big animals, and then it can run 

awa!:). 

.. Go to page 20 for activities. •

----.,-,,,. Parts of an Eye 

Let's look at an e-ye. It has man-y 

parts. This is an elephant's e-ye. The 

e-yelid and the e-yelashes protect the 

e-yeball. There are tears in the e-ye, 

too. The e-yelid opens and closes, 

and the tears clean the e-ye. 

The pupil lets light into the e-ye. This 

helps people and animals to see. 

When there's lots of light, the pupil 

is little. When there's no light, the 

pupil is big. 

People have tea rs to cleo n 

their eyes. People cry tears 

when they are sad, too! 


Eyes at the front 

People and man!] animals have two 

e!]es at the front of their head. This 

helps them to see things for awa!]. 

The hawk can £1!] fast and it can see 

ver!] well, too. This helps it to hunt 

little animals to eat. 

The monke!] has e!]es at the front 

of its head. It can jump from tree 

to tree and it doesn't fall. 

rB- - .......... 

Owls have eyes at the front of 

their head. Some owls can move 

their head around and see behind! 


Eyes at the Sides 

Man-y animals have e-yes at the 

sides of their head. The-y can see in 

front and behind. 

The frog has e-yes at the sides of its 

head. It can look for insects to eat. 

The hammerhead shark has a long, 

flat head. It has e-yes at the sides of 

its head. When it swims, it can see 

all around. 

The stalk-e-yed fl-y can see all 

around, too. It has e-yes on two 

long stalks. 

The chameleon sees all around 

very well. One eye moves up, 

and the other eye moves down!

In Water 

The seal lives on land and in water. 

It has big, round e-yes. It can see 

ver-y well in water. It hunts fish 

to eat. 

A SeaL 

The flatfish has two e-yes on one 

side of its bod-y. It can lie at the 

bottom of the ocean and look up. 

Fish live in water, and they don't have 

eyelids. They don't cLose their eyes!

In the Dark 

At night, some animals sleep. 

ManlJ other animals look for food. 

The lemur looks for fruit and little 

animals to eat. It has big elJes with 

big pupils. It can see verlJ well in 

the dark. 

It's verlJ dark at the bottom of the 

ocean. The flashlight fish has lights 

under its elJes. This helps it to look 

for little fish to eat. 

In the dark, cats and dogs have 

bright elJes. ThelJ can see verlJ 

well. Look at this cat. What color 

are its elJes?

Some insects have very many eyes. 

Look at this dragonfly. Each eye is 

thousands of little eyes together. 

Some animals have many eyes. 

Many spiders have six or eight eyes. 

The scallop can have more than 

50 little eyes! How many of the 

eyes can you see here?

Protect Your Eyes 

It's important for animals to 

protect their elJes. In the desert 

there's a lot of sand. The camel 

has long elJ elashes so the sand 

doesn't go in its elJes. 

!I) ! 

, ':.CameLs 

The meercat lives in the desert, too. 

It's sunnlJ and windlJ there. Its 

elJelids clean the sand from its elJes. 

The meercat has black fur around 

its elJes. This protects its elJes when 

it's sunnlJ. 

People wear sunglasses 

when it's verlJ sunnlJ. 

This protects their 

elJes. ElJes are 

important. 

Remember to 

protect them!

o 

Look at the sky in the day. What 

color is it? Can you see clouds? 

When it's sunny, the sky is blue. 

Clouds are white or gray. 

Sometimes you can see birds 

and planes. They fly in the sky. 

Sometimes when it's sunny and 

rainy, you can see a rainbow in the 

sky. How many colors can you see? 

A spacecraft 

goes up mto 

the sky. Then 

it goes into 

space. Space 

is dark and 

very big. 

+ Go to page 20 for activities. 

o

At Night 

At night the sky is dark. You can 

see the moon. The moon is a big 

ball of rock. 

Sometimes you see a round moon. 

This is called a full moon. Sometimes 

you see differcnt shapes. A thin 

moon is called a crescent moon. 

You can see stars at night, too. 

Stars are big, hot balls of fire. 

They look very little because they 

are far out in spacc. Sometimes 

you can see planets, too. 

-t Go to page 21 for activities. 

o

The Sun 

The sun shines in the sky. It gives 

our planet light. Don't look at the 

sun. It isn't good for your eyes. 

The sun is very, very hot. It makes 

our planet warm so we can live here. 

We get eLectricity from the sun! 

Light from the sun shines on soLar 

paneLs. This makes eLectricity. 

o 

Do you know the 

sun is a star? It's 

our star. We live 

on a planet called 

Earth. Earth goes 

around the sun. 

+ Go to page 22 far activities. 

o

Dayand Night 

Sometimes it's day and sometimes 

it's night. That's because Earth turns. 

When your place on Earth turns 

toward the sun, you see light from 

the sun. This is day. 

When your place turns away from 

the sun, you don't see light from the 

sun. This is night. Then Earth turns 

and it's day again. 

At night it's dark. It's dark in 

parks and gardens. It's dark in 

homes, too. People make light 

with electricity or candles. Is it 

dark when you go to bed? 

+ Go to poge 23 for act ivities.

Stars 

Stars can look red, orange, yellow, 

blue, or white. The sun is a yellow 

star. You can see patterns of stars 

in the sky. The patterns are called 

constellations. 

With a telescope, you can see more 

stars. The Hubble Space Telescope 

is a very big telescope out in space. 

It takes photos of stars. 

A galaxy is lots of stars. There 

are many millions of stars in onc 

galaxy. Our galaxy is called The 

Milky Way. 

~ Old stars don't live 

~ for ever, but there 

are new stars, too! 

~ Go to page 24 for activities.

Planets 

A planet goes around a star. 

Eight planets go around the sun. 

The sun and its planets are 

called the solar system. 

The planets are all different. 

Jupiter is big and Mercury is little. 

Venus is hot and Neptune is cold. 

Saturn has lots of rings. 

Many planets have moons. A moon 

goes around a planet. Earth has 

one moon. We call it the moon. 

Some planets have lots 

of moons. 

~ The pLanet Saturn 

~ has about 60 moons! 

• • e 

~.~ . 

-6 · 

• • 


On the moon there's dust and rock. 

There are tall mountains, and big 

holes called craters. There's black 

space all around, and no blue sky. 

There's no weather because there's 

no sky. It's hot in the day and it's 

cold at night. 

Astronauts can go to the moon. 

This astronaut is on the moon. 

How amazing! He has a space 

suit a nd he breathes air 

from a tank. 

Footprints are on the moon 

for 0 million years! There's 

no wi nd to blow them awa y.

Spacecraft with no people in them 

go into space, too. Some spacecraft 

take photos of Earth and space. 

Some spacecraft go to other planets 

so we can learn about them. 

Maybe one day you can go into 

space, too! 

Astronauts go into space. They go 

in a spacecraft. 

Astronauts can 

live in space. 

They live in a 

space station. 

They look at 

Earth and 

learn about it.
