Lesson Plans on Oil Spills (and a freebie in your snail mail)

science

28 Mar

DawnThe anniversary of the Gulf Oil Spill is April 20th. We live in an area of the Gulf Coast directly impacted by that spill, so we had quite a roller-coaster summer last year.  Happily, I can tell you that a year later, we don't see any effect of the oil spill. There is no oil on the beaches and our wildlife (including the tourists! =D) is as active as normal.    Dawn, the dishwashing soap company that helped clean our Brown Pelicans last year, has partnered with Discovery Education to create lesson plans on oil spills, specifically on these topics:

  • Investigate Oil Spills Lesson Plan
  • Discover Wildlife Rehabilitation Lesson Plan
  • Save the Wildlife Lesson Plan

How to Get this Freebie:  Visit this Dawn Junior Wildlife Champions page.  The lesson plans are downloadable as pdf files (almost 10 pages each), and in English or Espanol.

For Grades 3-5, especially, but I'd adapt them for all elementary students, and even my older ones. 

How to Get a Freebie in Your Snail Mail:  I have no idea what they'll mail us, but Dawn – and the Marine Mammal Center – will send you a gift "for  your classroom" for filling out a survey about the lesson plans.  Look for this graphic on the Dawn Junior Wildlife Champions page (lower right of that page).  Quantities Limited.

Freely Educate is written for those, like our family, who don't want the box. There are many places for "box-thinkers" to go. This place is for those who think outside the box. I hope to give you affirmation and advice on bravely choosing to educate creatively and individually. - Lori Seaborg
