Start with the free Kit video lesson: Kit the fox gets soaked by a giant spray and follows the clues to find out if a whale is a fish. Kids usually say yes, because a whale swims and has a tail, but a whale breathes air through blowholes, moves its tail up and down, and feeds its calf milk: it is a mammal. Then print Kit's Ocean Mystery, the free book that retells the video in two editions.
The worksheets keep it simple: match five ocean animals to their names, name the parts of a fish, finish five sentences about fish and whales, and draw a favorite ocean animal. Fish and mammals are not a K-2 standard, so this is an early look at animal groups; the K-2 science underneath is what animals need to live and how parents help their young.
For the same animal groups on land, see the animals unit, and for older students the ocean zones teaching pack.
