Coral Reef Unit



Our new science and animal study unit will be coral reefs! Instead of having separate units I am combining this one. ;)

DVDs-

Life - we will be using the portions about fish and creatures of the deep

Planet Earth - the section about the ocean

Magic School Bus Takes a Dive - we will also be using the book by the same name

Finding Nemo ;)

    Believe it or not, we are studying oceans this week, and coral reefs are what my older daughter decided to do her report on - so your timing is perfect for us! Thank you for sharing all these resources. :)

    Fabulous list! My son is fascinated by sea life. It's not top of my own list but I'm always looking for things to strew his way so your list is very helpful, thank you! We're enjoying the BBC series Blue Planet on DVD (v cheap here in the UK, not sure about there?) which is AMAZING (my son is in heaven!). Lucinda
