Each of our Preschool and K-5 classes will focus on a marine habitat, enriched with related technology, books, field experiences, assemblies and other learning activities. Our students will discover ocean sciences through hands-on, inquiry-based curricula.  ]]> 2019-07-17 03:39:04 UTC https://padlet.com/carolswise/oceansweek/wish/371398028 carolswise https://padlet.com/carolswise/oceansweek/wish/371403154 2019-07-17 04:27:50 UTC https://padlet.com/carolswise/oceansweek/wish/371403154 carolswise https://padlet.com/carolswise/oceansweek/wish/371404343 Watch with your family.]]> 2019-07-17 04:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/carolswise/oceansweek/wish/371404343 carolswise https://padlet.com/carolswise/oceansweek/wish/371404786 Activity: How to Make an Underwater Viewer

If you are planning a trip to the beach, have your kids make a viewer they can take with them and use to watch things living in the water. (You can also use this in a nearby pond.)

You will need:

• 1 clean empty tin can (a small coffee can will work well)
• 1 gallon size plastic zip-lock bag
• 1 or 2 thick rubber bands that will fit tightly over the can
• Black paint (optional)
• Plastic waterproof tape (optional)

To make the viewer, use a can-opener to remove both ends of the can. Painting the inside of the can black will make it easier to see animals underwater. Cut off the zipper and the three sealed sides of the plastic bag to make two sheets of plastic. Place one piece of plastic over an end of the can and secure it with the rubber bands (throw the other piece away). Make sure to pull the plastic tightly over the rim of the can to make a smooth viewing surface. Sealing the edges of the plastic above the rubber bands with waterproof tape will help keep water out of the viewer. To use the viewer, stick the plastic-covered end into the water and look through the open end.
