1 OCEAN ANIMALS WEEK 1 Lesson Plan Intern Name: Megan Kite CT Name: Laura Garrett Grade level: 2 nd Subject/Unit: Science- Ocean Animals Lesson Title: What is the ocean? Brief description: Students will be introduced to unit of study and learn about the characteristics, plants, and animals of the ocean. Students will complete the first page of their ocean packet. Big Idea: The ocean is a habitat with specific characteristics that flourishes with plant and animal life. Objectives: The students will be able to: Define habitat Draw a picture of an ocean habitat Actively listen and respond to a read aloud about oceans Identify characteristics of an ocean Identify plants and animals of the ocean TEKS (2) Science. In addition, students distinguish between characteristics of living organisms and nonliving objects, compare lifelong needs of plants and animals, understand how living organisms depend on their environments, and identify functions of parts of plants and animals. (6) Geography. The student understands the locations and characteristics of places and regions. The student is expected to: (A) identify major landforms and bodies of water, including continents and oceans, on maps and globes; (17) Social studies skills. The student applies critical-thinking skills to organize and use information acquired from a variety of sources including electronic technology. The student is expected to: (B) obtain information about a topic using a variety of visual sources such as pictures, graphics, television, maps, computer software, literature, reference sources, and artifacts; Materials needed: Paper Pencils

The student distinguishes between living organisms and nonliving objects. The student is expected to: (A) identify characteristics of living organisms; and (9) Science concepts. The student knows that living organisms have basic needs. The student is expected to: (A) identify the external characteristics of different kinds of plants and animals that allow their needs to be met; and (B) compare and give examples of the ways living organisms depend on each other and on their environments. Materials needed: Food web handouts (1 per pair) WOW Ocean Life by Franklin Pencils Computer TV Internet
5 Paper Transparencies Overhead Visa-vis Preparation and set-up: Each child will need to have their own ocean packet. T will need to have access to unitedstreaming. T will need to create a food web on inspiration including the following animals: sharks, seals, dolphins, whales, penguins. Print out one per pair and make one transparency for T. T will make a transparency of p. 2 in ocean packet. Procedure: (Total time: 40 minutes) 1. Call Ss down to carpet in front of TV after they place pencil pouches on their desks. 2. Review: Review with Ss about what we learned yesterday: The ocean is a habitat for many plants and animals. It is made out of salt water, is deep, has waves, is the largest body of water on earth (all connected but broken into 5 separate parts: Indian, Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic, and Antarctic/Southern). Explain to Ss that we ll be learning more about the animals in the ocean today and what they eat. 3. Focus/hook: The Ss will watch a video from United Streaming: Feeding Frenzy (skip first 2 minutes). After video ends, discuss with students who the predators were (dolphins, gannets, sharks, cape fur seal, whale) and who the prey was (sardines). Ask them to think what it means to be a predator (an animal that lives by capturing and eating other animals). Ask them what it means to be prey (an animal hunted and caught for food). 4. Move over to carpet at front of room. 5. Read WOW Ocean Life p. 24 Explain that a food chain is a graphic organizer kind of like a flow chart that shows who eats who. 6. Show Ss transparency of food web and explain how to read it Arrows go from prey and point to predator (i.e. like it s swimming into it s mouth) Point out color code 7. Have Ss return to seats and pass out ocean packets.
6 8. Instruct Ss to turn to p. 2 and fill out prey/predator together. Prey- an animal hunted and caught for food Predator- an animal that lives by capturing and eating other animals 9. Hand out copies of handouts to Ss and tell them to work with person next to them to fill out chart on p. 2. Work with Ss to list predators in chart. Have them look at web to list. T might want to do the first one with them. 10. Walk around and assist as needed. 11. Closure: The lesson will end when Ss have completed p. 2. Discuss balance in the web and hypothesize what would happen if one animal were removed. Evaluation: Ss will be evaluated on their participation and completion of p. 2 in their ocean packets.
