<strong>Lesson</strong> 2<br />

Ocean Research organizer<br />

ILS5A: I can locate and collect information about a topic and use it to explain the topic.<br />

Research is a word that has an important word inside it: search. You will search for information about<br />

an animal that lives in the ocean. Here are some Web sites you can use to find facts.<br />

National Geographic: Environment > Oceans:<br />

http://environment.nationalgeographic.com/environment/habitats/ocean-profile.html<br />

Save Our Seas: for Kids: http://www.saveourseas.com/minisites/kids/86.html<br />

Kids.Net.Au > Encyclopedia > Atlantic Ocean:<br />

http://encyclopedia.kids.net.au/page/at/Atlantic_ocean<br />

Start your research by choosing an ocean animal to learn about. Here is a list of some ocean animals<br />

you could learn about: seal, starfish, whale, herring, dolphin, tuna, penguin, or shark.<br />

What is your animal?<br />

Search for answers to questions about the animal you selected. Here are some questions. Add more<br />

questions of your own. Then look for answers in books and on the Internet if you can use a computer.<br />

Where does the animal live?<br />

What does it eat?<br />

How does it protect itself from being caught by predators? (Animals that eat other animals are called<br />

predators.)<br />

Your questions:<br />

After you get the answers, write an Ocean Life Research Report on a separate page.<br />

After you finish your report, draw a picture of your animal.<br />
