Day 3 -Tell students that they will be required to make a 3 dimensional model of their facility. List possible materials they could use on the board. Hand out rubric and discuss. Each group makes a list of materials they will use and decides who is responsible for bringing in materials. Students should use the description page as a guide.
Groups use rubrics to grade each model including their own.
Each group receives, reads and discusses the rubrics assessing their model. Day 3 - Inform the students that their facilities are now going to be put to use. Each student will research an ocean animal. Give them the research requirements. Create a rubric as a class that will assess their progress.
