Overview

Dive in and discover the secrets of the ocean! Marine science, the study of the ocean, the creatures that live within, and the processes that shape it, holds a special wonder that sparks the imagination and stirs a sense of adventure. Because the ocean is not our natural home, it is not as familiar to us as many other topics of study--therein lies the wonder. With concise, complete lesson plans, experiments, and worksheets, you can introduce your students to the many fascinating aspects of the undersea world. Each book covers a different ecosystem: Book 1--tide pools, Book 2--kelp forests, and Book 3--coral reefs. In addition this book covers information on setting up an aquarium, sea water, fish and sharks, marine mammals, invertebrates, plants and algae and food chains and webs, as well as detailed background information for teachers on each topic. Whether you live near the seashore or not, you can easily introduce this relevant, motivating information to your students. Each book also has field activities for those who are able to visit the ocean. These well-organized, informative units will give students an important understanding about the ocean.
