Ocean Ecosystem Card Sorting Activity

Kick-off any lesson with these one-page, observation-building, problem-solving STEM prompts — whether or not you’re teaching an ocean topic. The ocean covers over 70% of the surface of our planet, but if you don’t live near the ocean, it can be hard to understand the relevance or importance of the ocean.  We are all connected to the ocean, depending on it for food, recreation, and regulation of our planet. Teach your students about the many different ecosystem services provided by the ocean through this card sorting activity.
