Ocean Food Chain

One of our lessons last week was to teach the food chain in the ocean...to kindergarteners.  The explanation given in our teacher's manual, I thought, was difficult for students to understand.  After a bit of searching I found a Wild Kratts video that was perfect.  One of my teammates has been using Wild Kratts during inside recess and being made by PBS, I knew it would be could.

The video did not disappoint.  It was a great 2 minute explanation of what our teacher's manual wanted me to cover.  Did I mention I was in a professional development session during this part of the day?  A video was the perfect way for me to know that the material was covered in a way that students would understand.

After watching the video, students completed their own ocean food chain based on what they learned in the video.
