Lesson Plan Content
Description:
The ocean has distinct layers that have their own characteristics such as unique sea creatures, differing temperatures, and different pressures. The layers range from the surface layer where most ocean activities occur, to the deep dark depths of the water that scientists have yet to fully explore. In this lesson, students will learn the ocean layers and describe the characteristics (ocean depth and some forms of life) of each. This lesson was designed with specific support for diverse learners.
