Are plankton plants or animals?
A Breath of
Fresh Air
The answer is both! There are two main types of plankton:
phytoplankton (fi-toe-plank-ton) and zooplankton. Follow
the maze to discover which are plants and which are animals.

PHYTOPLANKTON
PLANT
ZOOPLANKTON
Phytoplankton make more than
half of the oxygen in our world.
Think of it this way, every time you
take four breaths, two of those
breaths came from oxygen made
by phytoplankton through
photosynthesis. So even if
you live far from the ocean,
you depend on it to survive!

Ocean Food Chain
Plankton is made up of tiny, usually one-celled plants and small water
animals such as larvae and eggs. Zooplankton and other small marine creatures eat
phytoplankton and then become food for fish, crustaceans, and other larger species.
Complete this food chain diagram by drawing an
ocean predator (shark, orca, barracuda) here:

In English, when the
letters p and h are next
to each other, they
make an F sound.
Words like
phytoplankton, phone,
photograph and
pharmacy. Look
through the newspaper
and find letters to spell
each of these words.
Glue the letters onto a
piece of paper, spelling
out each word. Then
read each one aloud.

The world’s largest animal, eats up to 16 tons of plankton daily. Ten
adult men together would weigh about one ton. So 16 tons of
plankton would be equal to the weight of 160 men. Good thing it
likes plankton and not people!
Color the spaces with odd numbers blue to reveal the animal’s name.
