Sea Creatures-Sharks & Rays

10/25/2016

Sharks and Rays was one of those chapters the boys couldn't wait to get to.  I just love the massive and beauty of the Manta Ray!  We hung this cute little guy from our ceiling to add to our "OCEAN" Room.


We started out by watching some super neat videos on Manta Rays.  There are a few from "Jonathan Bird's Big Blue World".  

​Here is one below you could watch:

We then moved onto our note page and folder activity page.  

We designed our Manta Ray by hand (you can make a
quick pattern by hand if you need to) and label the parts
that we learned:
​
  • Pectoral Fin
  • Pelvic Fin
  • Nares
  • Mouth
  • Gill Slits
  • Tail
  • Dorsal Fin

We glued the back of the Ray onto our first folder page and folded in our Pectoral Fins and folded up the long tail so it all stored nicely into the folder.

The second week we did our notepage and then moved on to our Folder activity on Shark Teeth.  We did have a student bring in a variety of shark teeth he had collected.  The kids enjoyed passing those around and examining them.

You could also view another video on sharks if there is any time left or have the kids research different sharks.  I have added a free shark stationary to use for a fun addition to your writing project.

Below is our second Folder Page for our "Sharks and Rays" Chapter.  
  1. We glued 2 standard sized pieces of yellow paper together to make a fold out.  
  2. Then we matched up the pictures and descriptions on the Shark Descriptions printout to the box on the Shark's Teeth page.
  3. We then cut out Teeth based on the average size of the ones recorded to have been found.
These are just Average lengths:
Megalodon                     7.5 inches
Great White Shark         2.25 inches
Mako Shark                    2 inches
Tiger Shark                     1.25 inches
Hammerhead Shark      .75 inch

Ephesians 3:20-21

20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
