Deep Sea

What happens when a mantis shrimp takes on a hungry octopus? Where do green sea turtles go to get their shells cleaned? Unravel the mysteries of the ocean world while taking in spectacular undersea views on the IMAX® Dome screen. From the talented filmmaking team behind Into the Deep and Under the Sea, Deep Sea takes audiences to a myriad of underwater locations around the globe, capturing a diverse group of sea life as they forge a variety of unique relationships with one another.

Narrated by Kate Winslet and Johnny Depp, the film showcases the stars of the underwater world, from the fearsome Humboldt squid to the graceful manta ray. Experience never-before-seen footage of these creatures in their natural habitats, and gain a new understanding of what it takes to survive in the world under the waves.

Primary Connections:

MA Science and Technology/Engineering Framework (2006)
(Massachusetts)

  • Life Science (Biology) > 13 Living Things and Their Environment (Grade: 6 – 8)
    Give examples of ways in which organisms interact and have different functions within an ecosystem that enable the ecosystem to survive.
  • Biology > 6.5 Ecology (Grade: 9 – 10)
    Explain how symbiotic behavior produces interactions within ecosystems.
  • Life Science (Biology) > 08 Adaptations of Living Things (Grade: 3 – 5)
    Describe how organisms meet some of their needs in an environment by using behaviors (patterns of activities) in response to information (stimuli) received from the environment. Recognize that some animal behaviors are instinctive (e.g., turtles burying their eggs), and others are learned (e.g., humans building fires for warmth, chimpanzees learning how to use tools).

National Science Education Standards (1996)
(National)

  • Life Science > Behavior of organisms (Grade: 9 – 12)
    Like other aspects of an organism's biology, behaviors have evolved through natural selection. Behaviors often have an adaptive logic when viewed in terms of evolutionary principles.
  • Life Science > Organisms and environments (Grade: K – 4)
    An organism's patterns of behavior are related to the nature of that organism's environment, including the kinds and numbers of other organisms present, the availability of food and resources, and the physical characteristics of the environment. When the environment changes, some plants and animals survive and reproduce, and others die or move to new locations.
  • Life Science > Regulation and behavior (Grade: 5 – 8)
    An organism's behavior evolves through adaptation to its environment. How a species moves, obtains food, reproduces, and responds to danger are based in the species' evolutionary history.
  • Life Science > Reproduction and heredity (Grade: 5 – 8)
    The characteristics of an organism can be described in terms of a combination of traits. Some traits are inherited and others result from interactions with the environment.
