1 Lesson 3: Researching Individual Species -1 st grade Page 3-1 Lesson 3: Researching Whales and Dolphins Objective: Students will play a modified game of Bingo to learn information about different types of whales You will need: Copies of cetacean fact sheets (one copy of each fact sheet) Bingo sheets (pages 3-3 to 3-32; one per student) and bingo markers (you could use small foam pieces or paper cutouts anything that the students can use to cover the squares on their bingo sheets; if bingo sheets are laminated, dry erase markers or washable markers could be used. A sheet of bingo chips is provided on page 3-33; this can be copied and given to students to cut out and use to cover the squares on their bingo sheets) Bingo call sheet (page 3-34 and/or page 3-35) Optional: PowerPoint bingo presentation (there are two versions, corresponding to call sheets 1 and 2) and ability to project this. Optional: Only One Ocean CD (by the Banana Slug String Band) and ability to play the Cetacea song. Vocabulary: Cetacea the group of animals that includes whales and dolphins. Baleen instead of teeth, some whales have baleen which hangs down in their mouths and lets them catch tiny animals to eat. Beak the pointy part of a whale or dolphin s head (usually where its mouth is). Callosities rough patches of skin on a right whale s head. These are usually white in color. Cookie cutter shark a small shark that lives in deep water. It takes circle-shaped bites out of whales and dolphins skin. Endangered plants and animals that there are not many of. It is possible that endangered plants and animals could become extinct (all gone). Flipper instead of arms, whales and dolphins have flippers. Plankton often tiny plants and animals that float around in the ocean. Squid a type of ocean animal that is related to the octopus. (There are some good photographs of squid at
2 Lesson 3: Researching Individual Species -1 st grade Page 3-2 Strategy: 1. Optional: Play Cetacea by the Banana Slug String Band. If you play this a couple of times, students will start to catch on to names of some of the whales and may sing along. The 15 whales used in this Bingo game are all mentioned in that song. 2. Review vocabulary words that may be new for students. 3. Give each student one of the cetacean fact sheets. If there are fewer than 15 students or groups, some students/groups should be given two fact sheets so all fact sheets are distributed. If there are more than 15 students, you can either group the students or make additional copies of fact sheets. 4. Give each individual one of the bingo sheets (and one of the bingo chip sheets, page 3-33, if desired. If bingo chip sheets are used, give students time to cut out the individual squares before starting the game.) 5. Explain that the class will be playing a game of bingo, but with a twist. Instead of the caller (the teacher) simply calling out the name of a whale or dolphin, they will be calling out a clue. The students will need to read their fact sheets to see if the clue matches the whale or dolphin on their fact sheet. If it does, they need to raise their hand and tell the class the name of their whale or dolphin. At that time, anyone who has that animal on their bingo cards can cover it. 6. Explain that the first objective is to get three whales lined up in a row. Once someone has 3 in a row (horizontally, vertically or diagonally), they should call out Bingo. You can then continue the game until someone has their entire card covered (all 9 spaces.) Alternately, you can play until each person has achieved a Bingo. 7. Use the clues until someone calls out Bingo. It may be best to use the provided PowerPoint presentation(s) in addition to the list the presentations allow the students to see the information that is being read and also to see a picture of the cetacean. Once someone calls Bingo, check that the whales that they have covered to make their row have actually been called as answers to clues. Remind everyone not to uncover their cards yet, and continue with the clues until someone has achieved the next bingo pattern. 8. Note that there are 30 unique bingo cards for this activity, and two unique call lists in case the class wishes to repeat the game (or if the teacher wants to offer to repeat it as a reward for the class later in the school year!)
