Pre-K

Ocean Voyage

Are you looking for a way to bring National Museum of Natural History science into your classroom? Dive into fun with your Pre-K students on this deep-sea adventure while helping them gain confidence and develop science identity. 

This Pre-K resource includes both instructor-led whole group lessons and student-led small group activities. The instructor-led whole group lessons can be led by a teacher or other adult and may require assistance as students complete activities as a group. The student-led small group activities can be done independently with minimal assistance. 

Pre-K Ocean Voyage Independent Learning Stations

Provide independent learning opportunities for your students to explore the ocean with these small group activities, including dramatic play, sensory exploration, art stations, and more! This resource includes everything you will need to orchestrate the fun including instructions for setting up each station, student signs, and additional materials (photographs, scientific illustrations, craft ideas, etc.).
