Can't-Miss Teaching Extras
Make this lesson even more more fun with videos from the National Aquarium of New Zealand. Check out their YouTube channel to find clips of eels, seahorses, sharks, and more.
To drive home the fact that Inky’s escape was a worldwide story, show your students this news clip that breaks it all down for them. (You can stop it after the 1:20 mark.)
Octopuses have three hearts and blue blood. Two hearts pump blood to the gills, while a third circulates it to the rest of the body.
It must be seen to be believed! Keep the learning going with this video of an octopus escaping a boat through a tiny hole.
