Homeschooling: Ocean Unit Study

This Ocean Unit Study can be adapted for all grade levels, Preschool through 6th. I’ve included Science, Art, Literature, and “Everything Else”. For Math, you can do any type of counting project with fish, dolphins, or any sea creature! You can even eat some jellyfish for lunch.

Science

Learning about the ocean and ocean life can all relate back to science! Make it fun by adding videos.

    I didn’t home school my kids when they were young. These videos seem like a good learning tool for children in general.

    I do not homeschool but always look for fun and helpful learning sites for my daughter and I to work on together. You can never learn too much. She loves everything ocean related. Dolphins are our favorite but love to learn about sharks too. Thanks for sharing these wonderful ideas and links for us to do together.

    I never homeschooled my kids because I had to work full time – I admire you and the other moms that homeschool and help their children succeed.
