Compare the parts of different animals. B. Enduring Understanding Big !dea "he ocean is full of animals. "here are many varieties of ocean animals and with different characteristics. C. Concepts C#$ K%CA.#$&$g. 'articipate in ma(ing a group collage of different te)tures. C*$ K%A+,S.4$ *$c. -escri.e the parts of living things.

Essential 4uestions 5uiding 4uestions 6hat are some things in the ocean7 6hat are some animals7 6hat are different parts these animals have7 6hat are differences in shells we find in the ocean7 6hat are some ways that two fish are ali(e7 !n which ways are they different7 8ow can a ocean animal represent greater than2 less than2 and e3ual to7 6hat does water loo( li(e on a glo.e7 6hat does it loo( li(e on a map7 6hat are some te)tures we find in the ocean7 Step 2 ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE C#$ Students will paint part of an ocean scene. C*$ Students will sort sea shells .y color2 shape2 and te)ture. C&$ Students will draw an ocean animal2 write its name2 and identify three of its parts. S#$ Students will count groups of o.1ects and determine which is greater2 less than2 or e3ual to each other. S*$ Students will identify .odies of water features on a map and glo.e.

Step 3 INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES & LEARNING ACTIVITIES C#$ Students will understand what the ocean loo(s li(e .y viewing a video2 then create part of an ocean scene using2 sand2 finger paints2 shaving cream2 and ri..on. C*$ Students will learn a.out different characteristics .y feeling characteristic of different shells and then sorting them in .as(ets .y characteristic. C&$ Students will learn a.out different ocean animals through videos and photos then choose and draw an ocean animal2 write its name2 and three parts it has. S#$ Using manipulatives and the Smart Board2 students will count and circle the groups of sea animals that are greater2 less than2 and e3ual to2 other groups on a wor(sheet. S*$ Students will learn how to identify .odies of water on a glo.e and a map using maps and glo.es.
