- Summary:
-
This guide provides: (1) background information for teachers on whales; (2) 10 interdisciplinary activities; (3) teacher resources; (4) a bibliography; and (5) "pocket materials." Topic areas addressed in the first section include evolution and adaptation to an aquatic environment, diversity of whales, functional anatomy of feeding and locomotion, diving physiology, and the questions of intelligence in whales. The 10 whale-oriented activities include objectives, list of materials needed, time needed, procedures, additional activities, and recommended grade levels. Since the activities are meant to serve as suggestions for teachers, they are flexible and allow for teacher input and adaptation. Resources provided include those available through the College of the Atlantic, field activities, films (with separate listings for children's and general audience films), a list of records on whales and whaling, and suggested books and periodicals for young readers. "Pocket materials" are various worksheets that can be duplicated for students, such as drawings of whales, fact sheets, and checklists. (JN)
