The aim of the lesson plan is for children to become aware of, explore and discuss some aspects of natural environments, focusing on the seashore. The children are enabled to identify items associated with the seashore (eg. shells, bucket and spade, suncream, driftwood) then sort and classify these items as natural or man-made.

Suggestions for use: Teach as a whole class lesson or take elements of the lesson for Aistear activities (eg. sorting seashore related items into natural and manmade). If using this as an Aistear station it could be extended by having the children draw the items on the sorting sheet once classified. Add collected items to a beach themed classroom display.
