Activity 1.a
By using metacards complete the concept map
about estuary.
Characteristic of
estuary
es·tu·ar·ye sCHəˌwerē/
noun
1.the tidal mouth of a large river, where the
tide meets the stream.
synonyms: (river) mouth, delta; More
-----a partially enclosed coastal body of
brackish water with one or more rivers or
streams flowing into it, and with a free
connection to the open sea. Estuaries form a
transition zone between river environments
and maritime environments.

Read each question carefully. Choose the letter of the correct answer.
1. An estuary is another kind of habitat.
Which of the following describes an
estuary?
A. Land area that drains water into a
lake, river or pond.
B. Large body of saltwater that covers
most of the Earth’s surface.
C. Underground system that provides
drinking water to an area.
D. Area where a river meets the ocean, where
in mixing of freshwater and saltwater happens
2. Why are estuaries important to our
environment?
A. Provide homes for many species
of wildlife.
B. Are important nursery areas for a
variety of marine organisms.
C. Help filter pollutants in the water.
D. All of the above
3.Water is brought to an estuary from a
variety of sources. Which of the
following would contribute to an
increase in the salinity of the estuary?
A. rivers
B. streams
C. urban runoff
D. tides
4. Based on how estuaries are formed,
which of the following best describes
the salinity (saltiness) of estuary water?
A. Equal to the salinity of river water

B. Less than the salinity of river water
C. Less than the salinity of ocean
water
D. Greater than the salinity of ocean
water
5. Water in most estuaries is brackish
because of the mixing of freshwater
from rivers and saltwater from incoming
tides. What would happen to the water
in the bay if there is lack of water in the
bay water shed?
A. Increase salinity
B. River meets the sea
C. River becomes dammed
D. Wet land becomes filled in.
Additional activities for application or remediation
Direction: Draw 5 living things and non –

living things found in estuary.
Name those things.

present in estuaries make them
favorable habitats for plants and
animals?
2.What factors would contribute to
the changes in salinity with changes
in water depth?
3.What would be the effect of
salinity levels on plants and animals
living in the estuary?
4.How do organisms adopt with the
environment?
5.How do plants and animals
respond and cope with the harsh
condition in estuaries?

Read and discuss facts about estuaries.

crabs
Other marine animals
mammals

Sea lions
Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living
What are some of the benefits on

living in the estuary?
What are some of the
difficulties?
Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson
How do living and non-living things

interact in estuary?
Estuaries have been called the
"nurseries of the sea" because the
protected environment and abundant
food provide an ideal location for fish
and shellfish to reproduce. Most
commercially important fish species
spend some part of their life cycle in
estuaries.
Estuarine fish habitats occur
where fresh water from rivers and
streams mixes with the salty
ocean water. This brackish water
environment supports a variety of
fish habitats, These environments
provide important feeding,
spawning and nursery sites for
many aquatic animals.
The Economy and Environment.
Estuaries are important natural
places. They provide goods and
services that are economically and
ecologically indispensable. Often
called nurseries of the sea (USEPA,
1993), estuaries provide vital nesting
and feeding habitats for many aquatic
plants and animals.
Evaluating learning
Read each question carefully. Encircle the
letter of the correct answer.
1.One of the fastest swimming crabs in the world is
the blue crab. Which of the following is an
adaptation of the crab for this?
A. jointed legs
B. body shape
C. large claws
D. paddle-like rear feet
2.If the planktons are removed from the estuary, what may
happen to the estuarine food web?
A. Planktons are producers so their
removal may not have an effect.
B. The other animals in the estuary will
have to find other food sources.
C. Removal of any organism like the
plankton will greatly
affect the ecosystem.
D. Filter feeders like oysters and clams
don’t depend on the presence of plankton.
3.Many shore birds feed on the mud flats of
estuaries. When would be the best time for
the birds to catch stranded fish and
invertebrates?
A. low tide
B. daytime
C. high tide
D. nighttime
4.Estuaries that are permanently open
for long periods by
heavy rains tend to have _________.
A. higher diversity
B. lower diversity
C. same diversity
D. equal diversity
5.Which of the following best describes
the salinity of estuary water?
A. Equal to the salinity of river water

B. Less than the salinity of river water
C. Less than the salinity of ocean water
D. Greater than the salinity of ocean
water
Do a Research
Choose an estuary animal and plant in

which you are interested to know more
about. Create a poster that shows the
interesting facts you’ll find out about it.
You may include the adaptations and
interactions to inhabit in estuary.

water low tide and under
water at high tide (in other words, the area
Intertidal Zones
between tide marks). This area can include
many different types of habitats, with many
types of animals, such as starfish, sea
urchins, and numerous species of coral. The
well-known area also includes steep rocky
cliffs, sandy beaches, or wetlands (e.g., vast
mudflats).
The defining characteristic of the
intertidal zoneWEEK
is that it is
8 Day 3 submerged
with water during high tide and
exposed to the air during low tide. The
Intertidal
zone can take many forms,Zonesfrom sandy
beaches to rocky cliffs.
A typical rocky shore can be divided
into a spray zone or splash
WEEK 8 Day 3 zone (also
known as the supratidal zone), which is

extremes.
Along most shores, the intertidal
zone can be clearly separated
