Provide Guided Practice:
How much of the earth is covered by water?
A globe (rubber ball) Have the kids toss it around the
room and mark on a tally sheet where there left thumb
lands on ocean...in the end they will see that the world is
mostly covered in water.

Ocean - Geological Characteristics
Unit Goals:
VA SOL 5.6 - Oceans
Goals
Strand: Interrelationships in Earth/Space Systems
Lesson Goals:

1. Add Ocean Floor Content to Foldable
2. Create the Ocean Floor
Provide Guided Practice:
Ocean floor. Mix cornstarch, water and sand (play sand is
ok) Let it come to a boil in a pot and it becomes this great
sand mix. You can have the kids make their own "ocean
floors" like sea arches, valleys, etc...Plus it's messy and they
love it. AFter that I had them draw and diagram there
models, so that was cool.

Lesson Description for Week #2
Ocean - Physical Characteristics
Unit Goals:
VA SOL 5.6 - Oceans
Goals
Strand: Interrelationships in Earth/Space Systems
Lesson Goals:
*design an investigation (including models and simulations) related to
physical characteristics of the ocean environment (depth, salinity,
formation of waves, causes of tides, and currents, such as the Gulf
Stream).
* interpret graphical data related to physical characteristics of the ocean.
*explain the formation of ocean currents and describe and locate the
Gulf Stream.

1. Why is the Ocean Salty (website and experiment)
http://www.palomar.edu/oceanography/salty_ocean.htm
2. Water Density Experiment
Water Density: Take 3 containers of water. Add a different food
coloring to each one. But leave one "plain" water-no color. Add
varying degrees of salt to "2" of the containers...make sure one
has a lot of salt. Now you have to use a dropper and drop the
varying degrees of salt water (just a drop or two) into the plain
water and see which salty water sinks. This is really a cool
experiment because you can have the kids predict which water
will sink, etc...I did it once but I had 4 different color salty waters
and it was was GREAT...we had a nice rainbow container in the
end. This takes time, but it's worth it, the kids seem to love it.

Ocean - Biological Characteristics
Unit Goals:
VA SOL 5.6 - Oceans
Goals
Strand: Interrelationships in Earth/Space Systems
Lesson Goals:
*design an investigation (including models and simulations)
related to ecological relationships of the ocean environment.
• interpret graphical data related to the ecological characteristics
of the
ocean, such as the number of organisms vs. the depth of the
water.
• analyze how the physical characteristics (depth, salinity, and
temperature) of the ocean affect where marine organism can live.
• create and interpret a model of a basic marine food web,
including floating organisms (plankton), swimming organisms,
and organisms living on the ocean floor.
