This investigation allows students an opportunity to share their thinking. First, they practice in the classroom and then share their thinking and work as part of a classroom and/or whole school celebration of the Alaska Seas and Watersheds Curriculum.
After learning and practicing ways to present information, they will display and present their work to others with the whole school and/or community and prepare for an Alaska Seas and Watersheds Celebration.
Students conduct a detailed investigation of “one small square” at the field site. They share their findings and then make a detailed representation of their research “square” using drawings, notes, and labels.
Students create riddles based on marine or freshwater animals, using research to craft clues, and present their work in a display or celebration to engage others in guessing and learning about aquatic life.
Students research a local aquatic animal, document their findings, create a detailed paper sculpture based on their research, and present their work to classmates and guests, showcasing their understanding of the creature’s characteristics and habitat.
