STEAM

I can design and create a habitat.


During our class on Steam Day 1, we read the book The Commotion of the Ocean! After we read the book, we had a short conversation about the ocean and what is all in it based on the book. At the end of our first day we separated different animals and objects in a human and ocean habitat. On Steam Day 2, we reread the book and talked shortly on it. Next, we split up into small group and began our activity. Before we started I asked the children, What was in the ocean?, What kind of plants do you find?, and What is the ocean mainly have in it? Then we started our activity! We began with a clear plate and added sand and blue and green rocks. Then they added a couple animals and a plant to finish. To top the tambourine we used another clear plate and hot glued them together. Then we played our tambourine to a cute ocean video.
