The ocean affects all of our lives. Therefore, awareness of and information about the interconnections between humans and oceans are prerequisites to making sound decisions for the future. Project ORCA (Ocean Related Curriculum Activities) has developed interdisciplinary curriculum materials designed to meet the needs of students and teachers living in Washington State. Each activity packet provides the teacher with a set of lessons dealing with a particular topic related to the oceans. Included are student worksheets, lesson plans, a vocabulary list, and a bibliography. This packet, designed for the junior high level, includes short stories, poems and excerpts from longer prose selections about the sea and a variety of student activities to accompany them. It is divided into six activities. Ideally, the students would progress from Activity 1 through Activity 6. However, each activity may be used separately. (TW)
