So many shapes in our vast oceans. Young explorers can discover new shapes in a variety of ways in this lesson. One way is having free exploration with a pattern shape kit handed out by the teacher. Another is by viewing a video, Ocean Environments: 3D Sea, and identifying shapes of animals throughout the video. Then they can work in groups to create pictures of animals from a pattern kit after listening to a story, Sea Shapes by Suse
