Manta Ray Activities For Pre-School

September 25, 2018 admin

Manta ray is marine fish that belongs to the family of eagle rays. There are two species of manta ray: giant manta ray and reef manta ray. They can be found in the tropical and subtropical parts of Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Ocean. Manta rays are rarely kept in the captivity because of their large size. Number of manta rays in the ocean is declining due to pollution of the sea, by-catch (entrapment in the fishing nets by accident) and uncontrolled collecting from the wild (gill rakers of manta ray are used in traditional Asian medicine). Thanks to all these factors, manta rays are classified as vulnerable. Download the Manta Ray activities booklet now and have fun !

Octopus Activities for Kids

September 7, 2018 admin

Octopuses are sea animals famous for their rounded bodies, bulging eyes, and eight long arms. They live in all the world’s oceans but are especially abundant in warm, tropical waters. Octopuses, like their cousin, the squid, are often considered “monsters of the deep,” though some species, or types, occupy relatively shallow waters. Most octopuses stay along the ocean’s floor, although some species are pelagic, which means they live near the water’s surface. Other octopus species live in deep, dark waters, rising from below at dawn and dusk to search for food. Download the Octopus activities booklet now and have fun !

Download the activities booklet now and have fun ! Whale Shark Activities for Kids The whale shark is a slow-moving, filter-feeding carpet shark and the largest known extant fish species. The largest confirmed individual had a length of 12.65 m (41.5 ft) and a weight of about 21.5 t (47,000 lb).The whale shark holds many records for size in the animal kingdom, most notably being by far the largest living non-mammalian vertebrate. The whale shark is found in open waters of the tropical oceans and is rarely found in water below 21 °C (70 °F).[2] Modeling suggests a lifespan of about 70 years, but measurements have proven difficult. Whale sharks have very large mouths and are filter feeders, which is a feeding mode that occurs in only two other sharks, the mega mouth shark and the basking shark. They feed almost exclusively on plankton and are not known to pose a threat to humans. The species was distinguished in April 1828 after the harpooning of a 4.6 m (15 ft) specimen in Table Bay, South Africa. Andrew Smith, a military doctor associated with British troops stationed...

Sea Turtle Activity Booklet

August 10, 2018 admin

Sea Turtle Booklet The majority of a sea turtle's body is protected by its shell. The turtle's shell is divided into two sections: the carapace (the dorsal portion) and the plastron (the ventral portion). The shell is made up of smaller plates called scutes. The leatherback is the only sea turtle that does not have a hard shell. Instead, it bears a mosaic of bony plates beneath its leathery skin. In general, sea turtles have a more fusiform body plan than their terrestrial or freshwater counterparts. The reduced volume of a fusiform (tapering at both ends) body means sea turtles can not retract their head, legs, and arms into their shells for protection like other turtles can. However this more stream-lined body plan reduces drag in the water and allows the turtle to swim more easily. The leatherback is the largest species of sea turtle. Measuring 2–3 meters (6–9 ft) in length, and 1-1.5 m (3–5 ft) in width, weighing up to 700 kilograms (1500 lb).... Read More...
What Lives In The Ocean? Colored Version and Black and White Download

July 23, 2018 admin

The Atlantic Ocean is comprised of saltwater and is quite warm when compared with other oceans, providing ideal conditions for a host of diverse animal species. As the Atlantic Ocean is the second-largest ocean in the world, covering approximately 20 percent of the Earth's surface, it is able to support a multitude of animals as their habitat. Many sea mammals, such as whales, dolphins and seals, migrate to and from the Atlantic Ocean each year. During the summer months, these species travel to colder waters to find rich feeding grounds and to build up their bodily stores of fat for the coming winter. They return from the colder Polar regions to the warmer waters of the Atlantic Ocean in the winter months in order to mate and rear their young. Here is an ocean book to do with your kids or in a classroom.

Sea Turtle Booklet for Kids

July 23, 2018 admin

Basic Facts About Sea Turtles Sea turtles are one of the Earth's most ancient creatures. The seven species that can be found today have been around for 110 million years, since the time of the dinosaurs. The sea turtle's shell, or "carapace" is streamlined for swimming through the water. Unlike other turtles, sea turtles cannot retract their legs and head into their shells. Their color varies between yellow, greenish and black depending on the species.

Population It is difficult to find population numbers for sea turtles because male and juvenile sea turtles do not return to shore once they hatch and reach the ocean, which makes it hard to keep track of them.

Spider Printable Crafts for Kids

Spider Printable Crafts for Kids Icky, I can't say I'm a huge fan of spiders. I think they are creepy with a capital C.

I do think they are fascinating from a distance though. I love a newly woven intricate spider web covered with morning dew, drops reflecting the rising sun, when I go out to get the morning paper. https://adventuresofscubajack.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Spider-Craft.pdf Below you will find a Spider Craft for Kids.

Recycle Relay, an Activity for Earth Day and Every Day! Earth Day Printable recycle_relay_printable https://adventuresofscubajack.com/printable-worksheets/ Kids at any age can learn to love and respect our planet.

Sea Creature Graphing for Preschool Age Students

May 20, 2018 admin

Sea Creature Graphing for Preschool Age Students A while back, I talked about the four things that I wanted to have more of in my classroom in order to promote more math opportunities:Graphing Today (finally) I’m going to talk about graphing. One of the reasons that I like graphing so much is that it gives my class a real-life, relevant reason to use math concepts. Once we graph something, it only makes sense to count elements from the graph, as well as to compare and contrast them. Plus, it gives everyone a chance to participate – there is a piece of everyone on every graph, and their piece is important. Really, there are two main things that you have to consider when you make graphs. One is subject matter: What are you graphing? The second is format: How are you going to display your graph? Here is my fun graph for Preschoolers! https://adventuresofscubajack.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/spring-May-2018-7.jpg Ms. Beth http://adventuresofscubajack.com Read More...

Growing Plants in Preschool

Growing Plants in Preschool As we head toward spring, I long for my garden and green things all around! Not only do I love gardening, but it is also a great learning experience for kids. When we share the joy of caring for a living, growing thing with children, the benefits are immeasurable. Studies have found that including plants in the classroom can improve children’s memory retention by helping to filter out background noise and reduce carbon dioxide. Being in the presence of plants has also been shown to reduce stress and anxiety. Caring for plants gives children a sense of ownership and responsibility. Not to mention they help teach science and math concepts! It is easy to begin a little indoor garden with your preschoolers. Here is a simple plant activity for teaching the basics of plant growth and some standard measurement skills. Grow a Bean Here is what you will need to grow bean plants in your classroom:...

New England is home to a wide variety beach area marine life. Some of the most common animals found on New England beaches are horseshoe crabs, skates (stingrays), jellyfish and harbor seals.

Teaching Math Through Bird Watching

Some will have developed strong, foundational skill sets in preschool or at home; some might have trouble recognizing the difference between long and short vowel sounds, and others might have difficulty even reading the alphabet.

Snowman Letter Matching Activity Worksheet

January 17, 2018 admin

Snowman Alphabet Matching Worksheet Alphabetic Recognition Alphabetic recognition is sometimes called letter recognition or letter identification, but all three terms have the same meaning. They refer to the ability to visually recognize letters of the alphabet. This includes the ability to name each letter and match that letter name with its written form, both upper and lower case, and in both manuscript and cursive. Alphabet recognition also includes the ability to distinguish between similar looking letters, like C/G, M/W, d/b and p/q. Letter recognition is important because it enables beginning readers to figure out how printed text is associated with the spoken language. Having a mastery of letter names can make learning letter sounds easier for young readers. The sounds of many letter names are closely related to the sound the letter sounds. For example, say “d” and you will hear the /d/ sound. Say “m” and you will hear the /m/ sound. Many letters of the alphabet follow this,... Read More...
Snowman Color Fun!

January 16, 2018 admin

Snowman Color Fun It's that time of the year where the cold winds blow and winter is in full swing. Kids love playing in the snow and they love when school is cancelled due to inclement weather. We can all agree that the number one reason kids love winter so much is because they get to make snowmen everywhere they go. One in your back yard, one in the school yard, one on the way to their friend’s place … it’s impossible to stop a child’s creativity during the snowy season! The downside of winter are, of course, the short days, and too cold to go outside. The weather outside may be frightful, but we’ve come up with some fun activities to do during a cold winters day. The Adventures of Scuba Jack has lots of fun activities for kids. Just download our crafts directly from our website for hours of fun participating in engaging, wintery activities.

Hair-Raising Preschool Science! Zap! Winter can be a shocking time as we shuffle through our dry, heated homes in our stocking feet or slippers, across the carpeted floor. Or maybe you notice more often as you slide out of the car in your puffy down coat, and then touch the door...zap! Why do we get these little shocks?

Background: Sinking and Floating Science Learning what sinks and floats in water builds a strong foundation in science concepts such as: density, buoyancy and properties of matter.

The Benefits of Homeschooling With The Adventures of Scuba Jack

November 26, 2017 admin

The Benefits of Homeschooling with The Adventures of Scuba Jack Many parents of young children are considering homeschooling today. While making the choice to homeschool can be overwhelming, parents considering this path should know they are not alone. In 2011, there were over 2 million American homeschooled students, with that number increasing about 2%-8% each year since. Homeschooling families are diverse in their ethnic backgrounds, political affiliations, income levels, education levels, and reasons for homeschooling. These reasons can include, but are not limited to: • Being able to individualize the curriculum for each child, • Having the opportunity to enhance family relationships, • Being able to take the classroom “on the road,” not being held captive to a specific location, and • Having options to use teaching methods that are not typical in institutional schools Further, many families choose to homeschool to foster their child’s academic success. Statistics show that homeschooled students score above average on achievement and college admissions... Read More...
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, Said No Teacher Ever

November 15, 2017 admin

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year Everyone has heard the catchy Christmas song by Andy Williams, but it’s also the most wonderful time of the year for students across the globe. The holiday season is officially upon us. And with it brings a combination of headaches and joy for all the teachers as well. Trying to contain all the kids’ excitement and actually have them focus on learning a bit is a difficult task. Listed below are a few days that are more challenging than others around this time of year. The Day Before Thanksgiving Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks for all that we have in our lives. The day before Thanksgiving is a day that teachers somehow just have to survive. One after another, students show up at your desk informing you on what they have planned for the next day. Did you ask for them to tell you about their itinerary for Thanksgiving? Probably... Read More...
Introducing Solid Foods To A Child’s Diet-Stress Free Baby Food

November 14, 2017 admin

Stress-Free Baby Food-Introducing Solid Foods To A Child's Diet I have written before about some common parenting stressors (namely sleep and potty training) that, in most cases, tend to work themselves out with little to no parental intervention. Let’s go ahead and add baby food to that list! You can’t get much more basic than eating, pooping and sleeping, and kids are typically going to master all of these skills eventually regardless of what we do (or do not do) to encourage them. I will discuss how to introduce solid foods to a child's diet and how it can be stress free. Now that my youngest daughter is approaching the 6-month mark (say it ain’t so!), I have been starting to think about how I would like to approach her introduction to solid foods. With both girls, I have thankfully had access to the resources, information, support, and anatomy necessary to make breastfeeding successful. Because the nutritional content of breastmilk...

Happy Thanksgiving from the Adventures of Scuba Jack

November 7, 2017 admin

Happy Thanksgiving from The Adventures of Scuba Jack Thanksgiving Day is traditionally a day for families and friends to get together for a special meal. The meal often includes a turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, pumpkin pie, and vegetables. Thanksgiving Day is a time for many people to give thanks for what they have. Also, it's a day that's set as a reminder for us to be grateful. Thanksgiving is a special holiday: a whole day focused on spending time with loved ones and being thankful, without much of the commercialism that has crept into many other holidays. But before you pull up to the table to enjoy your delicious Thanksgiving feast, consider the opportunities this day presents to teach children about the important values of Thanksgiving, such as thankfulness, gratitude, and family. Here is a fun Roll the Dice game to play with your kids: http://adventuresofscubajack.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/dinner_dice.pdf http://adventuresofscubajack.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/corn.pdf http://adventuresofscubajack.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/color_dice.pdf http://adventuresofscubajack.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/turkey_dice.pdf http://adventuresofscubajack.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/pilgrim_boy.pdf http://adventuresofscubajack.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/myflower.pdf Best, Ms. Beth Read More...
Halloween Treats That Are Fun to Eat

October 22, 2017 admin

Halloween Treats That Are Fun to Eat Halloween is a fun time of the year for parties and gatherings. It is a time of year for costumes and trick or treating. I just came back from a day in Salem, Massachusetts and my son and I had an amazing time. We walked around and learned some history, ate some great Mexican food and enjoyed a candlelit tour. The decorations were amazing and ghouls were lurking on every street corner if you dared to take a picture with one. We were walking down a street passed the old cemetery and saw some fun Haunted Houses to send a shiver down your spine. My 12 year old son opted out of these frightening experiences. Halloween is in full-swing, and while kids love to dress in costumes and cause mischief, parents dread the thought of all the leftover candy and the tremendous amount of calories that accompany the day. But Halloween is actually... Read More...
Cloth Diapering Made Easy

October 22, 2017 admin

Cloth Diapering Made Easy If you’ve ever thought about trying cloth diapers, my advice is to DO IT! We’re on our second kid in cloth diapers, and I still love them as much as I did the first time around. Why? - Cloth diapers are cheaper than disposable diapers. - Cloth diapers produce less waste and are better for the environment. - Cloth diapers give you the peace of mind of knowing exactly what you have resting 24/7 against your baby’s most sensitive parts. Now, if you start trying to shop for cloth diapers online, you will likely fall down a rabbit hole of adorable $25+ all-in-one diapers with the most beautiful prints you have ever seen. These diapers are the most like disposable diapers in shape and function, and they require very little guesswork since the waterproof cover is attached to the absorbent diaper. These make good diapers for a babysitter or daycare, but for everyday use … RESIST... Read More...
St. Patrick’s Day Worksheets for Kids!

March 14, 2017 admin

Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated each year on March 17th. In Ireland, Saint Patrick's Day is both a holy day and a national holiday. Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland as he was the one who brought Christianity to the Irish. According to legend, Saint Patrick used a shamrock to explain about God. The shamrock, which looks like clover, has three leaves on each stem. Saint Patrick told the people that the shamrock was like the idea of the Trinity, that in the one God there are three divine beings: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The shamrock was sacred to the Druids, so Saint Patrick's use of it in explaining the trinity was very wise. Although it began in Ireland, Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated in countries around the world. People with Irish heritage remind themselves of the beautiful green countryside of Ireland by wearing green and taking part in the festivities. Some of it’s traditions are: Parades - Parades are oftenly... Read More...
