We sixth-grade teachers needed to develop a unit-of-study around elephant seals to go with our grant-awarded filed trip to Ano Nuevo during borthing season. There just are not many resources out there! This set of articles and worksheets was very helpful as part of our unit!

This product was very well organized. It kept my students engaged while learning about this interesting seal. It was a great device to use during turn and talk. This activity was on a choice board.
