| Description | Dive into the oceans with us, as we utilize a variety of
poetry to introduce and enhance the exploration of Earth's oceans. Venture around the Earth as we discover the four oceans. Then we will take a submarine ride to the floor of the oceans to take a look at the ocean landforms. We will discover a variety of minerals in the ocean water and take a look at motion in the ocean, such as waves, tides, and currents. Next we will develop a PowerPoint of poetry as we learn about the ocean animals. To wrap up the unit we will take a look at many careers that involve the oceans. | |
