Lesson Plan
The aim of the lesson plan is for children to observe and explore ways in which features of the natural environment affect the lives of plants, animals and humans and to study the beach as a habitat for plants and animals. Following a discussion and story about the seashore and ocean habitats the children are enabled to create an ocean habitat diorama using recycled materials.
