Complete Oceanography VA SOL 4,7 Unit - PPT, Plans, Activities, Games, WS

This bundle is my entire 3-week Oceanography Unit! It is literally everything you need to teach Oceanography (VA SOL 4.7)!

Included:

-Lesson Plans for 3 weeks (14 instructional days): each day has the sol objective, materials needed, procedure (including labels for anticipatory set, PPT slides that correlate, teacher input, guided practice, independent practice, and enrichment), closure questions, and any assigned homework

-PowerPoint - OVER 100 slides! This walks you through each day on the lesson plans. Each day of this 14 day unit has an "Objective" slide, a "Review" slide from previous day's material to activate their learning, and follows the progression of the lesson plans with instructional slides, interactive slides, activity slides, movement, and more, ending with a "Closure" slide. The PPT completely addresses every facet of the Oceanography 4.7 SOL standards, along with enrichment material for gifted (GATE) students; I teach GATE, but it would be very easy to alter or eliminate slides as you see fit if they are too challenging

-Worksheets: SONAR point plot with REAL SONAR coordinates (the kids love this) & WebQuest worksheet for learning about marine groups (plankton, nekton, benthos).

-Activity Materials: water movements labels for making flipbooks (waves, tides, currents), game board for Day 14 unit review (same as the one I also sell in my TPT store), Hot Seat cards (my kids flip over these!), food web cut-and-paste (for puzzle activity), marine groups memory cards (for human memory game - SO FUN!), puzzle activity, and necessary links for Internet resources

-Project Sheet: TicTacToe Oceanography (same as the one I sell in my TPT store, in case you want to preview). This is a cumulative review that students can structure themselves- they pick three activities in a line to complete by the due date. I've designed a variety of activities for this to address all learning styles: artistic, writing, technical, creative, linear, etc.

I have put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into this unit and hope that you find it as useful and comprehensive as I have. Now, dive in! :)
