Bill Nye the Science Guy

In this video Bill Nye goes underwater to talk about ocean ecosystemsand the importance of small organisms such as coral, plankton, and kelp. Marine biologist Karen Montano takes a troop of kids to explore tide pools, which she calls "nurseries of the sea", and meet the water creatures living in these shallow pools. This video discusses plankton as well as the eating habits of the baleen whales. This video also contains an experiment to illustrate the filtering function of the baleen in a whale's mouth.
