This very short video gives excellent real life footage of a Common Cockle. Students will enjoy listening to the ocean sounds as they see the close up views of a Common Cockle feeding through a siphon. This well-known edible cockle has a solid shell,... consisting of two valves, which feature prominent ribs and concentric growth-lines. The outer surface of the shell is off-white, yellowish or brown, and the inner surface is white. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (0:25)

This short video gives excellent real life footage of a Horse's Hoof Clam. Students will enjoy listening to the ocean sounds as they watch the close up views of this amazing invertebrate. A member of the giant clam family (Tridacnidae), the horse’s h...oof clam (Hippopus hippopus) is named for the shape of its shell. Reddish bands on the outer side of the shell give it its alternative common name of ‘strawberry clam’.As in all clams, the body of the horse’s hoof clam is enclosed within a shell made from two separate hinged sections, known as valves. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (0:27)

This short video gives excellent real life footage of a Fluted Clam. Students will enjoy the close up views of this unique invertebrate as they listen to the ocean sounds. The fluted clam (Tridacna squamosa), also known as the scaled clam, can be ide...ntified by the large, leaf-like fluted scales on its shell, which are often used as shelter by organisms such as small crabs, clams, and other invertebrates. The mantle is normally brown, generally mottled with vivid green and blue spots or wavy lines. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (2:07)

This short video gives excellent real life, close up footage of a Southern Giant Clam in its natural ocean environment. Students will enjoy listening to the ocean sounds as they watch this amazing invertebrate. The southern giant clam is one of the l...argest of the ‘giant clams’, reaching up to an incredible 60 cm in length. The species is also known as the smooth giant clam because of the relative lack of ribbing and scales on its thick shell. The smoothness of the southern giant clam’s shell, and its six to seven vertical folds, help to distinguish it from its larger relative, T. gigas, which has four to five folds and a rougher texture. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (0:25)

This short video gives excellent real life footage of a Giant Clam. Students will witness this clam spawning as they listen to the ocean sounds. This enormous shellfish is the largest species of bivalve molluscin the fossil record, and the heaviest o...f all the living molluscs. Like all bivalve molluscs, the shell of the giant clam (Tridacna gigas) consists of two valves, although in the larger giant clams these cannot close completely. The shell is extremely thick and lacks bony plates; when viewed from above, each valve has four to five inward facing triangular projections. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (0:36)

This short video gives excellent real life footage of a Small Giant Clam. Students will enjoy listening to the ocean sounds as they watch the close up views of this amazing invertebrate. At less than a third of the size of the true giant clam (Tridac...na gigas), the small giant clam (Tridacna maxima) deserves its name. As an adult, it has a large shell that adheres to a rock by its byssus – a tuft of long, tough filaments that protrude from a hole next to the hinge of the shell. When open, the bright blue, green or brown mantle is exposed and obscures the edges of the shell with its prominent and distinctively furrowed edges. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (0:37)
