E-book The Great Whales : A Curriculum for Grades 6-9
The protection of whales has moved well beyond ending commercial whaling. Current whale conservation issues are complex and directly related to human activities that impact ocean habitats on which the whales depend. The aim of this curriculum is to focus on research efforts to expand human knowledge about marine mammals. We can’t save whales unless we understand what whales need to live—their life habits and habitat needs. Through a variety of activities, this curriculum explores whale biology and ecology topics and discusses methods being used to study whales. Also covered are current conservation issues and concerns, as well as other topics such as exploitation and general information about whales. Charts matching curricula contents to National Science Content Standards and science process and essential learning skills are also included.
