• The students will be able to recognize different types of
plants that live under the sea or ocean.
• The students will recognize different types of animals or
fish that live under the sea or ocean.
• The students will see and identify different landforms
under the sea or ocean, such as continental shelves and
slopes.
• Students will be able to describe and draw the different
landforms.
• Students will compare the different landforms.
• The students will recognize, give examples, and create a
diagram or a model of a food web under the sea or
ocean.
• Students will be able to explain their food web.
Unit Summary
This unit of instruction is about oceanic landforms,
plants, and creatures (fish and animals). The
students will learn about the different types of
creatures and plants that live under the sea. The
students will learn about what the plants and
creatures eat. The students will also learn about
the different types of oceanic landforms. The
activities that the students will be doing include
internet research to learn more about the different
types of creatures and plants, creating a Kid Pix
about their research, use Word to do a comparison
and contrast about oceanic landforms and the
different types of fish, drawing and labeling oceanic
landforms using Paint, and create food webs using
Inspiration.
Student Assessment
The students will be pre-assessed through their journal
entries before class. The students will be assessed through
the completion of a portfolio that is a compilation of the
work that they have completed in the class. The students
will be post-assessed in their summary of what they have
learned with the technology program of their choice. For
example: A student may choose to use Inspiration to make
a diagram of a food web and insert their pictures of the
landforms. The student would explain the importance or
significance of the different subjects. All of the students
are expected to achieve 90% accuracy, or better, on all of
their assignments and assessments.
