How Does This Differ from Your Other Units?

My week-long units are cross-curricular as well, but they contain detailed daily lesson plans for each day of the week. This resource contains one lesson plan, but it's packed full of ideas that can span more than one day. I've included guides for stretching the lesson plan activities over two, three, four and five days.

Other Ocean Units

• Sharks (mini-unit)
• Dolphins (mini-unit)
