Is that a shark? Here's a 10-lesson unit that will have learners expanding their definition of what a shark actually is as they examine different features, habitats, and diets. They explore endangered species, using information cards with pictures. Using their own senses of smell, pupils come up with experiments to test one another and consider how sharks use this sense. They use a worksheet to find different parts of a shark, like the dorsal fin and the gill slits. A fun art project has students filling a shark's stomach with common foods, and kids learn a shark chant. These are only a few of the fun lessons included in this full shark unit!
