The document outlines a lesson plan for a second grade class to learn about oceans over the course of a week. The class has 12 girls and 10 boys and the objective is for 90% of students to locate oceans on a map and describe sea life. Over five days, students will learn about what causes waves and currents, locate the five main oceans, research an ocean animal for the food chain, learn about coral reefs, and do presentations synthesizing their knowledge.
