Aquatic means something is related to water, like fish, frogs, or even your favorite toy boat that floats in the bathtub.
Imagine you're playing with a rubber duck in the sink. When the duck floats, it's aquatic, because it’s in the water. Now imagine your brother jumps into the pool and splashes around, he’s also aquatic because he’s swimming in water too!
What Makes Something Aquatic?
- If an animal lives or moves in water, like a fish or a turtle, it's aquatic.
- If something is made to be used in water, like a boat or a snorkel, it's also aquatic.
You can even be aquatic! When you splash around in the puddle after the rain, you're being aquatic, just like the fish in the pond.
