Day 1
SNACK - We made a jellyfish snack with grape jello and sour gummy worms. Make the jello according to package and then put in bowls. After they have jelled in refrigerator for 4 hours, carefully flip on plate (may have to use a butter knife to gentle pry from bowl). Then add some sour gummy worms for the jellyfishes' tentacles. We actually made this twice. Ya think I would have taken a picture at least once. Maybe we can have the snack again :). 
ART -We used markers to color on round coffee filters. Then we sprayed with water and let it dry. (It doesn't take long to dry at all if near a sunny window.) Then we (mom) cut strips of tissue paper and we stapled them around the ends of the coffee filter. My husband cut small squares from a cereal boxes to put underneath the jellyfish so that it would spread out more when we hung from the ceiling. We used a brad to fasten the square and ribbon to the coffee filter. Then we tacked it to the ceiling.
We also viewed some videos on you-tube. We especially liked the one from national geographic site for kids. Jellyfish info and video

 Day 3 - We made a 4-flap mini-book with a cover for the Seahorse out of colored paper. My son drew a picture on white paper and glued it on the front cover.  We wrote 1 question on each of the flaps and then wrote the answer for each question under the flap.

Day 3

Used template of snail from http://www.first-school.ws/t/cpsnail.htm. 
Printed on cardstock and glued each color (3 different colors) of sand after the previous color had dried. This way the colors didn't mix with each other. Cut out the snail after it was all dry. Glue snail on a background paper and draw a scene if you wish.

Day 5

Drew and labeled picture of scallop from September 2011's Ranger Rick magazine 2011, Page 17. 

At the moment, trying to locate the sea urchin drawing. I am also not so good at remember taking pictures during all our science experiments, but the directions in the book are good.
