Living and Non-living things in the Ocean!

We have been learning about living and non-living things in our Year Two classroom- particularly in regards to things in the ocean!

I saw this as the PERFECT opportunity to integrate our dramatic play rock pool and a wonderful way to hook my students in!

We gathered around our little rock pool and each picked out one item. We discussed if this item was a living or non-living thing in the ocean!




Afterwards we used the ocean sort from Cara Carroll's Science in May unit (It’s AMAZing!!!! and used our knowledge to draw 3 living and non-living things from the ocean into our workbooks!


Finally we made our own living triaroma (again Science of May activity!! – get on it!!) I think they are just the coolest and the students loved them! They worked for 30 minutes straight on them with no distraction!!


It was a teacher battle choosing between the calm or pushing them to get it done so we could move on! Sometimes you just have to give them the time!


Do you have some amazing science ideas?! I would love to hear them!
