World Oceans Day, June 8th, is a time when people all around the world do something to show their appreciation for the world’s oceans.
We are all connected to the oceans in some way.
Did you know:
- Oceans cover over 70% of the earth’s surface
- Ocean plants and organisms create most of the oxygen we breathe
- Oceans absorb carbon dioxide, helping to regulate our climate
- Many of our medicines come from the oceans
Our oceans bring countless benefits to our lives, and now you can bring those benefits to your classroom!
Our freely available lesson plans give you the tools to celebrate World Oceans Day with your students. These lesson activities encourage students to develop their vocabulary, to collaborate, and to speak about current issues.
