Students will present their “At Home In the Water” activities, contribute to a hall display, and take part in a classroom or school-wide celebration. They may also share their work with peers, families, community members, and other students in Alaska online.
Students set up experiments to test their predictions about what brine shrimp eggs need to hatch and to grow. They make daily observations, ask questions, and record and share information.
Students identify specific traits of a habitat. They think about why particular animals live in various habitats and how they are well-suited for their habitat.
Students apply classroom knowledge and nature walk experiences to observe and measure local habitats. They explore, conduct “timed counts” of organisms, and focus individually on a small area for further study.
Students choose a freshwater, tide pool, or ocean animal to research. They learn that animals live in specific habitats that meet their needs and discover how to find information through books, the Internet, local observation, and experts.
