Vertebrates
From sea lions to sea turtles and everything in between, explore the dynamic world of marine vertebrates. Each Explorer Series includes a short video, fun facts, and discussion questions to engage students, access their prior knowledge, and set the stage for the lesson to come. Incorporate these videos into your unit on living and nonliving things, animals, biodiversity, biology, and taxonomy to introduce a new concept or use them to compare and contrast with terrestrial organisms. Include these Explorer Series in your reading and language arts classes by having students write, illustrate, and share a story about their favorite marine vertebrate.
