Ocean Sorting Activity

Learning Intention:
I am learning to understand what makes a healthy ocean and what makes an unhealthy ocean.

Success Criteria:
* Place all of the cards up so each group member can see them
* Take turns discussing why one card may belong in a particular group
* Give a reason for why you placed the card in a group
* If you are not sure where a card goes, explain why you are unsure
* For cards in the unsure pile, list ways you can research to find out whether it is part of a healthy or unhealthy ocean

When the students were finished their sorts, the class came together to share how they placed each card. There were some misconceptions of what made a healthy or unhealthy ocean, and these were addressed as part of the students' surface learning.

They are now ready to delve deeper into their inquiries and are preparing for their summative assessment this week!
