4th Graders Dive Into Ocean Exploration

 
What a fun day!  First, we had a visit from the Chambers County Dive Team.  Major Clay Stewart and Captain Jason Fuller shared all of their SCUBA equipment and several underwater dive videos.

Then, we returned to the classroom for FISH KITS,  Students were given clay and a description of the body forms and fins of an animal and they were to create what they thought the animal looked like.  They were then shown a picture of the real animal.  We had some funny looking creatures created!

Finally, we learned a song about the fins of a fish.  Check out the video below.

It was a great day of ocean explorations!
Dorsal, Pectoral, Pelvic, Caudal, Pelvic, Caudal!

Wonder which animal we are making?
