Common Sense Science Oceans

Designed for single-level or multilevel classrooms, homeschools, co-ops, or science clubs, Common Sense Science is for grades 3 through 6, with activities for 1st and 2nd grades to facilitate multi-level teaching.  The scripted lessons include vocabulary, research prompts for digging deeper, instructions for constructing 3D Graphic Organizers, and labs that use common household items. All hands-on science activities are coded by ability levels, enabling you  to teach all your children at the same time using one science curriculum.

Lessons in the Common Sense Science series are divided into 18 three-day weeks allowing you to complete two units a year.

In Common Sense Science Oceans, students are introduced to planet Earth and then learn about:

  • The Water Cycle
  • Oceanography
  • Saltwater/Ocean Floor
  • The Layers of the Ocean
  • Tides
  • Waves/Current
  • Life on the Shore
  • Coral Reefs 

They will then study about life in the ocean:

  • Crustaceans, Mollusks, and Sponges
  • Types of Fish
  • Anemones, Marine Worms, Echinoderms, and Smaller Marine Fishes
  • Sharks/Rays
  • Marine Reptiles
  • Marine Mammals
  • Pinnipeds

Graphic Organizers include a Discovering the Ocean book and a Life in the Ocean book.

To complete this study, you will need this book and the Student Materials Packet, which are available in a bundle for your convenience.  If you are teaching more than one child, you will need to purchase a Student Materials Packet for each child as it is a consumable item.  Another option is to purchase this text along with the Student Materials Packet ebook and print multiple copies for your family.
