Overview

The most effective way to teach young children science is through activities that incorporate their senses of sight,hearing,smell,taste,and touch. Like the other books written by experienced educators Vansant and Dondiego,Shells,Whales,and Fish Tails follows this proven approach,providing activities that encourage kids to learn about and appreciate fish,sea mammals,and other sea life. Children ages 4-8 will enjoy examining real animals and objects; composing and singing songs about ocean life; making a three-dimensional wall mural of an ocean containing sea creatures made by the children; creating models of whales,crabs,and fish of the coral reef; and building a miniature classroom ocean using sea salt,water,sand,shells,and seaweed.
