A school of fish: Ocean Unit Plan and Resources

We had a very long Ocean Unit to start out our regular year (after Summer School was over). It was really fun and just had so much variety! Here are some of the resources I used that did fit neatly with the other posts.

I'm not really sure why we got so interested in clams. Maybe because we saw them in Oregon a few years ago and then also got fresh ones to make clam chowder last summer? Or maybe because they're just a thing we didn't know much about before? At any rate:
