Learners study the Neptune ring and the Barkley Sound to learn about marine environments. In this marine environments lesson, learners read an article about the Neptune nodes. Learners find locations on a chart of Barkley Sound. Learners work in groups to complete stations for temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen. Learners then answer discussion questions.
Students explore literature and art forms containing creatures that are part human and part animal, such as the Greek Sphinx, Neptune, or the Green Centaur. Individually, students write a poem or short story to create a character with both human and animal characteristics. They illustrate the mythical beast by creating a sculpture for the story.
