Children access drifter buoy data to begin maps. Because this is ongoing data, you will need to collect this information before the children begin to plot the coordinates. Children experiment with waves as different from currents. Begin plotting drifter buoy data. Children compare differences in temperature of water, air and land.
Children develop a classifying system to sort shells .
Write descriptions of shells. Children create graphs of shells based on bivalves and gastropods. Children write observations of sand samples. Hypothesize regarding the possible sand location. Data taken from temperature and buoys.
