Students are often unaware of how the world is connected.
The goal of this unit is to teach students how a seemingly unimportant event can have a significant effect on their lives. We will focus our unit on the links and chains associated with the ocean. They will learn how disruptions in these chains can affect their lives. This unit is geared to seventh grade language arts, social studies, and science. This unit may, however, be adapted to grade levels that are studying World Civilizations and Explorations or the state of California.
