Shearwaters of the Sea

This lesson incorporates clips from Blue The Film as learning inspiration. During this lesson, students discover the biological life of shearwaters. Students begin by exploring the basic needs required for life, and learn what shearwaters eat, where they live, how they raise chicks, and their migration journeys. They then take part in an interactive shearwater sculpting activity, and the artworks they create can be used to help others learn about shearwaters. Finally, the students consider how humans impact the oceans and its living creatures, and they take action by investigating how litter in the school yard might affect the health of the oceans and the creatures that live there.
