2 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS As a class, discuss what information the students already know about sharks. Then, read the chapter titles in the table of contents aloud. What new information about sharks might your class learn based on the chapter titles? CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.5; CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.3.5; CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.4.5 What did marine biologists do to discover more about how a shark s sense of smell is connected to finding its way around the ocean? What are denticles and how are they similar to teeth? CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.4; CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.3.4; CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.4.4 A shark can grow, lose, and regrow up to 50,000 teeth in its lifetime! What happens to all of these teeth lost by sharks? Who are the couch potatoes of the shark world? Why have they been given this nickname? What are the different ways that shark pups are born? Study the bar graph of shark life spans on page 65. List three true statements about the information presented in the graph. Use math language in your statements including: greater/less than, the difference between. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.7; CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.3.7; CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.4.7 Marine biologists are always in search of more information about the creatures that live in the sea. Sometimes this search leads to a discovery of a new ocean animal. Read the In Your Newsfeed section on page 74. Describe the new shark that scientists discovered in December Sharks are constantly on the move in order to breathe and hunt. At times, sharks may use their bodies to communicate as well. Describe how white sharks and hammerhead sharks communicate with their bodies. Sharks are a significant part of a balanced ecosystem. Cite three reasons for the importance of sharks from the chapter entitled Why Sharks Matter. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.8; CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.3.8; CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.4.8
3 ACTIVITIES FOR STUDENTS Shark Snack Shack Sharks are carnivores. They eat a range of prey. Create a menu for sharks that reflects the different types of food they eat. Follow that Shark Mary Lee is a great white shark that has been tagged with a radio transmitter, who moves up and down the east coast of the United States. She was originally tagged by scientists off Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Her radio signal has been found as far south as Florida. Follow Mary Lee s journey at this website: ocearch.org/profile/mary_lee/ And the Award Goes to... Sharks vary a great deal in size and shape from short to long and round to thin and in terms of their behavior. Create a list of different awards that recognize the uniqueness of the array of sharks: The Smallest Shark, The Fiercest Shark, The Trickiest Shark, etc. Which type of shark would win each award? Make a poster or create an awards show with students representing various shark species. Habitat, Sweet Habitat Sharks can be found in warm water and cold water, in salt water and sometimes freshwater. Select a shark habitat to investigate. Collect information about the biodiversity of the selected habitat. What lives in this habitat? How does the shark fit into the diversity there? Compile your findings into a written report to be shared with the class. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.2.8; CCSS.ELA-LITERACY. W.3.8; CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.4.8; NGSS: 2-LS4-1; NGSS: 3-LS4-3 Super Sharks! Sharks are magnificent creatures, but did you know that they also have some super powers? Read chapter 2 to discover sharks unique electroreception, an incredibly strong sense of smell, exceptional eyesight, amazing hearing, and talented taste buds. If you could have any of the shark s super powers, which would you choose and why? Survey your classmates and graph the results. Which super power is the most desired? CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.MD.D.10; CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.MD.B.3 The discussion questions, activities, and worksheets in this guide were created by Leigh Courtney, Ph.D. She teaches in the Global Education program at a public elementary school in San Diego, California. She holds both master s and doctoral degrees in education, with an emphasis on curriculum and instruction.
4 NAME: SHARKS VERSUS OTHER FISH Though they both call the ocean home, sharks are built differently from other fish. Look at the information in chapter 1: What Makes a Shark a Shark? and use the facts discovered there to complete a Venn diagram comparing the similarities and contrasting the differences between sharks and other fish. Sharks Other Fish
5 NAME: STRANGE, BUT TRUE We may get a certain picture in our head when we think of a shark, but some species are unique. Look at the information in chapter 7: Ocean Oddballs to complete the chart below about some of the strangest sharks in the sea. Type of Shark Oddball Trait bamboo shark wobbegong frilled shark lantern shark goblin shark basking shark
6 NAME: MAY I TAKE YOUR ORDER? There are many types of sharks swimming in our oceans. Scientists have organized families and species of sharks into eight different orders. Sharks in each order share similar features. Using the information on page 110 to guide you, connect each shark order with the species that belongs to it. ORDER SPECIES Carpetsharks great white shark Dogfish sharks Port Jackson shark Groundsharks lantern shark Frilled sharks and cowsharks wobbegong Mackerel sharks tiger shark Horn and Bullhead sharks sevengill shark ANSWERS: Carpetsharks: wobbegone; Dogfish sharks: lantern shark; Groundsharks: tiger shark; Frilled sharks and cowsharks: sevengill shark; Mackerel sharks: great white shark; Horn and Bullhead sharks: Port Jackson shark
7 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Read through the table of contents. Predict what information may be contained in this book about dinosaurs based on the chapter titles. What might the chapter called Gentle Giants be about, or Look! Up in the Sky!? Discuss your predictions as a class. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.5; CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.3.5; CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.4.5 The Age of Dinosaurs ended almost 66 million years ago. How is it that we know about the types of dinosaurs that roamed the Earth so long ago? What does it mean for a dinosaur to evolve? What is the connection between the evolution and extinction of dinosaurs? Look at the information on page 13 and discuss what features make a dinosaur a dinosaur. What were the advantages of each feature? How did these features help them to survive? Read about near-raptors on pages How were the near-raptors similar to the birds of today? One group of dinosaurs, the stegosaurs, were well equipped for battle. Even though they were slow-moving herbivores, they were not easy prey for their carnivorous foes. Describe some of the features that the stegosaurs had to protect themselves from those that wished to eat them. Read the Fact File on page 91. What is unique about this 1999 dinosaur discovery? How old was the amateur paleontologist who found the skeleton? Dinosaurs ranged in size from enormous to quite small. There was also a lot of variety in what different types of dinosaurs ate. Define the following diet-related terms: herbivore, carnivore, insectivore, piscivore, omnivore CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.4; CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.3.4; CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.4.4 The discovery of dinosaur fossils helped to unlock the mystery of what dinosaurs looked like and what they ate. What discovery helped scientists better understand how dinosaurs were born? What happened to the dinosaurs remains a mystery. What could have caused their extinction? Discuss the theories scientists have proposed about the end of the Age of Dinosaurs. NGSS: 3-LS4-1; NGSS: 3-LS4-3
8 ACTIVITIES FOR STUDENTS The King of the Dinosaurs On a large piece of paper or poster board, sketch a T. rex. Using information found on pages 64 65, label your sketch to highlight the aspects of the T. rex that helped it to be the tyrant lizard king. Reread chapter 3 and add your five favorite T. rex facts to your poster. Dino Dentistry Dinosaurs teeth differed depending on what they liked to eat. Make a T-chart to compare the teeth of dinosaurs that were herbivores to those of carnivores. Graph It Using the information found on pages 12 13, design a bar graph to show the various lengths of dinosaurs. Make sure to label each axis and to include a title for your graph.
