Synopsis: In this book, you will read about many kinds of water life. Why is water a good place for many plants and animals to live? Water has substances that plants and animals need. For example, oxygen and other gases are found mixed with, or dissolved in, water. Water animals take in the oxygen they need from the water as they breathe. Minerals are also dissolved in water. Water plants use the minerals to grow. Water also provides a good home for many plants and animals because it changes temperature more slowly than air. In summer, water heats up slowly. It usually stays cooler than the hot summer air. In winter, water cools off slowly. It usually stays warmer than cold winter air. Animals and plants living in water are protected from great changes in temperature. All water environments are not the same. An environment is a place where plants and animals live. In this unit, you will read about some different water environments. You will read also about some of the many kinds of plants and animals that live in these different water environments.
