From Sea to Story: Weird Nature, Real Science

by Sheree Marris

Description

Get ready for a wild dive into the weird and wonderful! In this fun and interactive session, award-winning author and marine biologist Sheree Marris brings the ocean to the classroom—complete with jaw-dropping videos, hilarious marine moments and outrageous animal facts (like creatures with mouths in their armpits or deadly gloops of water with 4 backsides!).


Students will discover how science and storytelling come together. From rescuing octopuses to studying the world’s deadliest animals, Sheree gives students an inside look at how wild ideas turn into published pages. Then it’s their turn—through hands-on activities, students will plan, write or illustrate their own nature-inspired story featuring what they’ve learned.


Perfect for sparking creativity, curiosity and a love of science.
