Students explore oceanography by participating in field trip activities. In this fish characteristics lesson, students attend a trip to a local beach or reservoir and collect different specimens in order to examine them. Students...

Young scholars pretend to be shark biologists employed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) who have been flown into the coastal city of Sao Luis in Brazil because locals have noticed an unidentified shark at...

Young scholars identify the problems that marine life is facing today. In this marine science lesson plan, students explain how Marine Protected Areas can help the ocean and the fish. They brainstorm ways to help in the conservation effort.

In this environmental worksheet, pupils become aware of the animals that inhabit the sea coast by reading a paragraph and coloring the picture. Students learn the importance of keeping beaches clean.

Learners explore water properties by conducting a class experiment. In this buoyancy lesson, students make predictions as to whether or not specific objects will sink or float in water. Learners conduct the experiment and record their...

In this oceans learning exercise, students click on the links to learn about the problems in the ocean and follow the steps on creating a project to help fix the problem. Students complete 4 steps.

Student read Sheryl Wilson's story, "A Day at the Beach" while classifying items they find. They design a chart of the items before using educational graphing software to create a graph.

Students work in groups and experience what it is like to be a hatchling marine turtle by playing a board game.  In this endangered marine turtles instructional activity, students research the threats to marine turtle hatchlings....

Sixth graders investigate the various types of pollutants found in water and ways to help prevent water pollution. Through a hands-on experiment, students create samples of polluted water by mixing water with vegetable oil, dirt,...

Students working in small groups examine beach sand to discover signs of erosion, weathering, ocean currents and waves. They present their findings to the class.

Students locate and trace Florida on a United States map as well as their local counties and city of residence on a state map. In addition, they label all the directions north, south, east and west on each map.

Learners participate in a whole class discussion of ocean-floor structures and plate tectonics. They respond to prompts in a structured sequence that lead them to conclusions about the role of plate tectonics in the creation of sea-floor...

Young scholars study waves and how it erodes a beach.  For this energy lesson students complete a lab activity on waves and tides. 

Students simulate how the Moon causes ocean tides. In this earth science lesson, students calculate gravitational acceleration using a mathematical formula. They compare the force of attraction between the Earth, Moon and Sun system.

Pupils create a headdress design. In this visual arts lesson, students work cooperatively in a group and create a headdress design. Pupils are encouraged to use the conceptual framework of philanthropy while working as a team to complete...

Learners study the history of jazz music. They listen to various examples of jazz music and complete a worksheet in which they must identify the individual instruments they hear and identify characteristics of the genre of jazz music.

Students investigate the creatures of intertidal zones. They explore the adaptations species make to survive .

Students graph data of sea turtles hatching rates from Watamu/Malindi Marine National Park and Reserve in Kenya.  In this math instructional activity, students use real life science data to calculate mean and median...

Students participate in a hands-on activity where they explore tidal zones. They explore tides and marine life. This is an experiment that can be accomplished in class.

Students participate in a Beach Field Study in which the analyze the affect pollution is having on beaches and the animals that live there. Students focus specifically on the damage cigarette butts are causing on the environment.

Students use different parachute activities to study weather and land patterns and formations. Tornados and hurricanes can be discussed as students make large waves (move from very high to very low) that mimmick these two weather...
