This book discusses topics like being protected by the male marine mammals on the reef. There are also tips on what to do if something does go wrong with a coral reef. There are also pictures of animals, mollusks, and plants that can be found on coral reefs. There are sites that feature online readers that are available for free.
In this workbook, the children will use a hand-written journal to write about their experiences while diving. They will then look at some of the pictures of various reefs from around the world.
Many marine creatures have names. When kids write about these creatures in their journals, they may discover the names of other children who may want to correspond with them.
To begin this project, the children should make a sand cast of the creatures they want to study. Then they will apply the sand to a wooden board and then color the creatures in the sand. After the creatures have dried, they can write about how they feel after the sand has been scraped off.
After reading this book, I can tell you that it is easy to learn about marine animals. Even the creation stories that the children find fascinating can be enhanced by the wide variety of activities provided in this book.
