Greetings everyone!
Today students began their studies of Earth’s oceans by taking a closer look at estuaries. We read a modified article from LearnNC.org to learn more about estuaries, their importance and how our human activity can impact the ecosystem balance in an estuary.
Students answered their questions in groups using the text and tomorrow they will wrap up this activity before moving on to ocean zones.
Here’s a peek at today’s activity!
You can find the article we used here: Text Tuesday – Estuaries in NC
Have a great evening!
