7 Goals
|Unit Goals: |VA SOL 5.6 - Oceans |
| |Strand: Interrelationships in Earth/Space Systems |
|Lesson Goals: |*create and interpret a model of the ocean floor and label and *describe each of the |
| |major features. |
| |*research and describe the variation in depths associated with ocean features, including|
| |the continental shelf, slope, rise, the abyssal plain, and ocean trenches |

|Introduce and Model New Knowledge: |●●Ocean Floor Flipchart |
| | |
| | |
|Provide Guided Practice: |1. Add Ocean Floor Content to Foldable |
| |2. Create the Ocean Floor |
| |Ocean floor. Mix cornstarch, water and sand (play sand is ok) Let it come to a boil in a|
| |pot and it becomes this great sand mix. You can have the kids make their own "ocean |
| |floors" like sea arches, valleys, etc...Plus it's messy and they love it. AFter that I |
| |had them draw and diagram there models, so that was cool. |

12 Goals
|Unit Goals: |VA SOL 5.6 - Oceans |
| |Strand: Interrelationships in Earth/Space Systems |
|Lesson Goals: |*design an investigation (including models and simulations) related to physical |
| |characteristics of the ocean environment (depth, salinity, formation of waves, causes of|
| |tides, and currents, such as the Gulf Stream). |
| |* interpret graphical data related to physical characteristics of the ocean. |
| |*explain the formation of ocean currents and describe and locate the Gulf Stream. |

| |●●2. Oceans in Motion Flipchart |
| | |
|Provide Independent Practice: |1. Why is the Ocean Salty (website and experiment) |
| | |
| | |
| |2. Water Density Experiment |
| | |
| |Water Density: Take 3 containers of water. Add a different food coloring to each one. But|
| |leave one "plain" water-no color. Add varying degrees of salt to "2" of the |
| |containers...make sure one has a lot of salt. Now you have to use a dropper and drop the |
| |varying degrees of salt water (just a drop or two) into the plain water and see which |
| |salty water sinks. This is really a cool experiment because you can have the kids predict|
| |which water will sink, etc...I did it once but I had 4 different color salty waters and |
| |it was was GREAT...we had a nice rainbow container in the end. This takes time, but it's |
| |worth it, the kids seem to love it. |
