SHARKS
Would you Rather… Have a Shark for a Sister or a Ray for a Brother? By Camilla de la Bédoyére e Mel Howells
Ages: 5-8
Would you rather have a barbecue with a great white shark, a take-away with a basking shark or a picnic with a tiger shark? Explore the world of sharks through fun and hilarious scenarios with a Would you Rather? question approach.
From the amazing senses of sharks to the different waters they inhabit, readers will decide what they’d rather eat, where they’d rather live and what super senses they’d rather have. With no wrong or right answer, there are endless possibilities for discussion and extra facts and notes at the end of book encourage the reader to come up with their own question.
Hark! A Shark! All About Sharks (The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library) written by Bonnie Worth , Aristides Ruiz (Ilustrador), Joe Mathieu (Ilustrador)
Ages 5-9
Laugh and learn with fun facts about sharks from the smallest (the dwarf lantern) to the largest (the whale shark), the most notorious (the great white) to the most obscure (the goblin), and more—all told in Dr. Seuss’s beloved rhyming style and starring The Cat in the Hat!
Dive deep into the world of sharks and discover:
• why they have lots of teeth but no bones • how their tough skin helps them swim fast and stay clean • how they come in all shapes and sizes • and much more!
Shark Lady: The True Story of How Eugenie Clark Became the Ocean’s Most FearlessScientist by Jess Keating (Author), Marta Álvarez Miguéns (Ilustrator)
Ages: 4-8
Eugenie Clark fell in love with sharks from the first moment she saw them at the aquarium. She couldn’t imagine anything more exciting than studying these graceful creatures. But Eugenie quickly discovered that many people believed sharks to be ugly and scary-and they didn’t think women should be scientists.
Determined to prove them wrong, Eugenie devoted her life to learning about sharks. After earning several college degrees and making countless discoveries, Eugenie wrote herself into the history of science, earning the nickname “Shark Lady.” Through her accomplishments, she taught the world that sharks were to be admired rather than feared and that women can do anything they set their minds to.

A tua irmã pode dar-te um choque fatal e o teu irmão pode comer-te de uma só vez… Explora o mundo fantástico dos tubarões e outros gigantes dos oceanos e pondera bem as tuas opções!

O tubarão sem dentes por Gabriela Luís
Idades: 7-10
Quando perdemos os dentes, tudo se altera na nossa vida… deixamos de nos sentir nós próprios!
Esta é a história hilariante de um tubarão que, ao ficar sem dentes, vai à procura de uma dentista, a Dr.ª Baleia. Mas as coisas não correram como ele queria e após várias tentativas para se alimentar em vão, descobre um simpático restaurante no fundo do mar que o tenta ajudar. Sentindo que a sua vida não voltaria a ser a mesma, procura consolo ao pé das crianças e brinca com elas, sentindo-se aceite e respeitado, mas, entretanto, conhece uma tartaruga velhinha que lhe fala numa solução. Será que ele conseguirá recuperar os seus dentes e voltar a viver feliz?
Hello, my name is Nicole and I’m an elementary teacher, environmental and marine educator plus passionate about ocean literacy and sharks. As a volunteer at the NGO Sharks Educational Institute – SEI Portugal for the past three years, I have been fortunate to learn several fascinating facts about some of the 550 shark species and the importance of teaching ocean literacy principles in all school subjects. Organizing and participating in Shark Literacy workshops for students about sharks at national and international schools, as well as attending conferences and Ocean Day beach cleanups, all motivated me to study sharks further.
My master’s degree capstone project research is: How can ocean literacy enable elementary teachers and students to better understand sharks and their role in marine ecosystems? This question gave birth to the Teachers4Sharks blog. The main objective is to inform teachers and provide credible resources about sharks. The Ocean Literacy principles and Sustainable Development Goal # 14 Life below water will be the guiding tools to raise awareness and change behaviors towards sharks and the urgent need for their conservation.
So, please hop on board and join us as we navigate the ocean and observe and learn about the unique world of sharks!
Desvendando as Maravilhas dos Tubarões: Literacia Oceânica para a Educação Infantil
Olá, meu nome é Nicole e sou professora de educação infantil, educadora ambiental e marinha, além de ser apaixonada por alfabetização oceânica e tubarões. Como voluntária na ONG Sharks Educational Institute – SEI Portugal nos últimos três anos, tive a sorte de aprender vários fatos fascinantes sobre algumas das 550 espécies de tubarões e a importância de ensinar os princípios da alfabetização oceânica em todas as disciplinas escolares. Organizar e participar de workshops de Alfabetização sobre Tubarões para alunos em escolas nacionais e internacionais, acompanhar conferências e participar de limpezas de praia no Dia do Oceano me motivaram a estudar mais sobre os tubarões.Minha pesquisa de projeto final do mestrado: Como a literacia oceânica pode permitir que professores e alunos do ensino fundamental compreendam melhor os tubarões e seu papel nos ecossistemas marinhos? Essa pergunta deu origem ao blog Teachers4Sharks. O objetivo principal é informar professores e fornecer recursos confiáveis sobre tubarões. Os princípios da Alfabetização Oceânica e o Objetivo de Desenvolvimento Sustentável # 14 Vida abaixo da água serão as ferramentas-guia para aumentar a conscientização e mudar comportamentos sobre os tubarões e a necessidade urgente de sua conservação.
Portanto, venha a bordo e junte-se a nós enquanto navegamos pelo oceano e observamos e aprendemos sobre o mundo único dos tubarões!
The Teachers4Sharks blog aspires to be a place for you to learn more about sharks, shark conservation and, promoting ocean literacy too!
