Divided into six different themes, these Ocean STEAM Educational Materials are designed to provide students with an understanding of “Sea Creatures and Changing Environments.”
Teachers can choose between investigating all six themes, or focusing on just one or some of the themes.
However, even when looking at just a single theme, we recommend that teachers distribute all available texts and work sheets
in order to encourage students to be actively involved in learning.
