Our ocean and us KS1

Our ocean and us KS1 introduces students to the ways in which we use the ocean and discuss and share their knowledge. Students work in groups to plan and build a diorama which illustrates some of the ways we use the ocean. Students also reflect on how damaging this ecosystem could be detrimental for all of us.

This is one of three lessons. The lessons introduce students to the awe and wonder of the ocean and its inhabitants building a love for marine wildlife and a desire to protect it. The unit goes on to explore some of the many ways we depend on the ocean, from food to livelihoods. Finally, this unit introduces students to what is meant by marine plastic pollution and highlights some of the issues which will be explored in more detail in the full Key Stage 1 unit Ocean Plastics 5-7.
