Want a quick, ready-to-roll check for understanding or review? Try mazes! They are fun, challenging, *almost* self-correcting activities that are ideal for independent work or “you do” practice. It allows students to practice what they learned in a safe way.
TOPICS COVERED
Topics covered include foundational principles of Earth's oceans and exploration such as:
⭐ major oceans
⭐ gases of the ocean
⭐ features and organisms found in the ocean zones, including:
- intertidal
- neritic
- epipelagic (sunlight)
- mesopelagic (twilight)
- bathypelagic (midnight)
- abyssopelagic (abyssal)
- hadalpelagic (hadal/trenches)
⭐ organisms found in various zones
⭐ ocean exploration technology
NOTE: The Exploring Earth's Oceans Read and Review is an excellent precursor to this maze, as questions pulled are linked to this activity. Please remember, your students should have some prior knowledge of these topics before beginning this review to ensure they are set up for success!
INCLUDES
✏️ Student maze worksheet
✏️ Color completed answer key
✏️ Digital Google Slides version
IDEAS FOR USE
I love using mazes to switch things up - they are awesome for:
⭐ a quick review
⭐ extension application
⭐ small group spiral sessions
⭐ individual reviews
⭐ re-test qualifiers and more!
These can be given as independent work, a combo of student solo/partner work followed by whole class review, or whole class review. You can even use it for “Roll the Dice” or “Mad Minute” reviews! The possibilities are endless!
Want to have your students complete it digitally? Your purchase includes a Google Slides Digital version as well! This version is great for your LMS or students in a remote/virtual setting.
Use interactive notebooks like me?! Well, these fit in perfectly! Simply print the page (full size, landscape 11x8.5), fold it in half and glue it into the center of your notebook. Voilà! You are set!
