“Underwater Environment”
Exploring the movement of
underwater sea animals.
We started our underwater environment exploration when the children began to show a lot of interest in the sea animals at investigation time. The children would have their sea animals swim around the room, or the children would pretend they were the animals swimming around the room.

The
water table was filled with sea animals, rocks, and sea shells for the children
to explore. The children explored the water table with the sea animals and other ocean like materials.
 
The children observed and explored the
movement of sea animals at the water
table with a backdrop of a video “Ocean
habitats.”
The
children are learning the different movements sea animals use to swim around in
the ocean and making
connections that they use their feet to move around and sea animals use
different parts of their body to move around in the ocean.
The
children will further explore the different movements of sea animals in water
and sand,how sea animals move around different obstacles in the ocean, and
ways the sea animals move fast or slow.
