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.

Oceans Unit Study Adventure
I didn’t home school my kids when they were young. These videos seem like a good learning tool for children in general.
Very true Lisa, they can definitely be used for any child…homeschooled or not 🙂
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.
Absolutely, Kathy! Thanks so much for coming by!
What a great study to bring to our children and I would love it too because dolphins are my all time favorite …Thank you for the review!
I don’t home school, but boy this is a great day of activities and learning for spending with my niece before or after a trip to the aquarium. Thanks!
You are very welcome 🙂
I would love to use this to study with my grandchildren who do go to school.. it seems super interesting!
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.
Thank you, Maria! I really do appreciate that 🙂
Ocean life is so very interesting! Thanks so much for sharing this great resource.
Thank you for stopping by the Thoughtful Spot Weekly Blog Hop this week. We hope to see you drop by our neck of the woods next week!
