Teacher Worksheets

The following is a list of links that would be used to enhance a unit about plants, mammals, and fish in the sea. This unit would be taught in a third grade science class to introduce underwater environments. The links will take you to worksheets or sites where the theme is discussed or skills will be reinforced.

 

1. Learning Page- This site provides teachers with free worksheets and materials. The worksheet linked is identifying animals in the sea.

 2. Comparing Plants to animals- Teach-nology. This site provides lesson plans, worksheets and graphic organizers. I chose this site in particular so students could use the Venn diagram to compare and contrast plant and animal characteristics.

3. Whale Word Find- Kids Page Archive - This link takes the student or teacher to a word find about whales. This sheet would reinforce skills or facts learned about the mammal part of the unit. Also included in this site are: lesson plans, and craft ideas for science as well as for other subject areas.
