# Students learn how gravity and the moon affect tides. # Students find out how tides are useful to man. # Students connect to create captivating relief sculptures using what they have learned about tides. # Students research the habitats of sea stars, identify different species, discover variations in the number of arms, and discover how they move. # Students create realistic representations of the habitats of sea stars. # Students present facts about sea stars to their classmates. # Children explore plants and animals that live at various ocean levels, including beaches and coral reefs. # Students demonstrate their understanding of ocean layers and life with chalk drawings. # Children identify colors and how movement is represented in ocean photographs and paintings. If possible, they observe and sketch real waves in varying weather conditions. # Students experiment with melted crayon techniques. Whenever crayons are heated for an art activity, provide adult supervision and conduct melted crayon techniques in a well-ventilated area. Overheating wax crayons during melting may release irritating fumes. # Students use their knowledge of color mixing and blending, and of ocean waves, to create colorful sea images. # Students find out about varied forms of ocean life, including information on shellfish and how they differ from fish with scales. # Children identify various types of seashells, and recognize that at one time each shell was a home to a sea creature. # Students decorate the inside of a seashell with an ocean scene. |
