Beach Bucket Scavenger Hunt
As an introduction to our unit on the seashore, and the Chesapeake Bay in particular, we had a scavenger hunt at the beach. The boys were asked to gather 3 things that are evidence of plant life, 2 things that are evidence of animal life and 1 thing that is evidence that humans have been there. They could also pick up 1 non-living material.
