We had our own Shark Week!!!
My kids love sharks, and they are ALWAYS watching shark week on the tv (we have the dvd's) so it made sense to do a unit all about sharks.
We covered the different types of sharks on our worksheets, and for our book I took DK Eyewitness: Shark out of the library. I read them parts of the book to give them a rough idea how sharks lived, where they lived, how they had babies, what they ate, etc. The book gave a close-up to some sharks, like the Great White, as well as mentioning some shark relatives, like the Manta Ray.
And, of course, we covered the prehistoric Megalodon! The book even had a picture comparing the Megalodon's mouth to a Great White's mouth - the Great White's was tiny in comparison!!! It also showed how a kid could stand up inside the Megalodon's mouth and not reach the top teeth!!! Crazy!!!
We learned about sharks, but, most importantly, my kids had a BLAST! :)
