This is a 68 page science unit on ocean habitat completely integrated with Arts and Literacy. Much of the content is taught through quality literature, dance, drama, music and visual arts. Throughout the unit students will making many projects and creating a class mural as well as foldables for most concepts to include in a lap book as a culmination to the unit. There are so many ideas about how to incorporate arts, a teacher could also put on an amazing classroom performance for the parents!

Erin,
Thanks for adding the lap book title page to your unit! It is perfect!

I wonder if it would be possible to get a copy of the Ocean Habitat title page in black and white for the children to colour? I would like to use it on the front of the lap book but it will use up way too much precious ink.
BTW.....absolutely love your unit!
Thanks,
Nancy
That's a great idea! I'll work on it but some may have to be grayscale. I'm not sure if I have line art for all my clip art but I do have some. Send me your email @ esample4@gmail.com

I didn't see the last picture for the lap book. It looks like a fish bowl. What do you have your students write inside the fish bowl? I am excited to get started. I really like the lap book idea.
Thanks
The fish bowl writing page is on page 67 of the file. I usually read the book "What's it like to be a Fish: A Let's Read and Find Out About Science" and then complete the fish tree map to record facts. The students then write their report on the fish bowl writing paper using their tree map. I hope you and your students enjoy the unit!
