Jellyfish Lesson Plans

In this lesson learners investigate Ocean life by participating in an arts and crafts project.  In this oceanography lesson, learners discuss sea creatures, specifically jellyfish.  In this lesson learners are given coffee filters, markers, wax paper and wiggle eyes to create their own version of a jellyfish.

Students try to draw and identify a jellyfish from a physical description. After reading an article, they discover new information about cnidarians. In groups, they research and develop dioramas about a specific cnidarian species. They reflect on the evolutionary nature of science.

In this lesson 2nd graders read with a partner about the Jellyfish. In this animal lesson, student pairs utilize the computer in order to compose 3 sentences about the Jellyfish, and to create a picture of a Jellyfish.

In this lesson learners become familiar with the structure of the jellyfish and make jellyfish.  In this jellyfish lesson, learners create paper jellyfish and study interesting facts about them.

This lesson has students read books, learn about the letter j, and eat jello all to learn about the letter j. In this letter j lesson plan, students also make a jellyfish craft.

In this lesson students review the letter J. In this alphabet lesson, students identify this letter, show what it looks like, and tell the sound it makes. They watch a jellyfish movie and make jellyfish art. 

In this lesson students participate in an experiment in which they practice moving genes from one organism to another. They examine the results of a recombination of jellyfish. They identify different types of bacteria as well.

Learners examine jellyfish anatomy and estimate the size of the parts on picture cards. They use various supplies, including coffee filters and ribbon to make scale models of jellyfish. Learners label all the jelly fish parts and hang their models from the ceiling at various heights to simulate different water depths.

4th graders make a distinction between plastic waste food and natural wallots.

4th graders complete activities that include the use of multi-step directions. They design a mystery board game and follow a recipe. They practice decoding skills throughout the lessons and while playing Jellyfish Jubilee They present an oral presentation upon completion of their game boards which is scored using the associated rubric.
