What teacher doesn’t love teaching about the ocean, and what student doesn’t love learning about it? This comprehensive unit easily enables you to teach engaging lessons about all five of Earth’s amazing oceans, as well as ocean geography, weather, marine life, and more. You get a ton of activities included in this pack including close reading passages and handouts, interactive notebook activities, research report sheets, posters, and many others.
You can utilize the materials provided here as a standalone unit or as a supplement to your current oceans unit. If teaching about the oceans is not a specific standard for your grade level in your state, no worries! These activities are Common Core aligned. You get a multitude of high-quality non-fiction text selections and rigorous ELA activities to support your students’ learning.
In my classroom, I often feel that there isn’t enough time to get through everything. A key strategy that I use to tackle that problem is integration. This unit combines science, ELA, social studies, and technology/research to help you make the most of your time with your kids. There is also minimal planning and NO PREP (aside from running copies). Who doesn’t love that?! All resources are appropriate for whole group, small group, and independent work. You can do all of the activities in order, or you can pick and choose. The unit is your oyster!
