Students will explore a 'Tide Pool Safari' by visiting different interactive stations to learn about various tide pool creatures, gather observations, and begin connecting with the animals they discover.

Students will collaborate to summarize their observations from the 'Tide Pool Safari', identify key features and habits of tide pool creatures, and work together to craft a collective statement about the unique challenges and adaptations of these animals that will guide the rest of their project work.

Students will brainstorm and collaborate in small groups to imagine and sketch a variety of tide pool creatures they might want to create, drawing inspiration from a range of provided resources such as books, videos, and images.

Students will construct detailed 3D tide pool dioramas using art materials like clay and paint, continually refining their designs based on peer feedback until their models effectively showcase how various tide pool creatures adapt and survive, preparing to share their creations with the community.

Students will present their 3D dioramas and art gallery to the community, guiding visitors through their creations and sharing stories and facts about the tide pool creatures and their environments.
