Use a shoe box to make a whale habitat diorama to use as a school project. Remove the lid from a shoe box and turn the box on its side. Paint the inside of the box blue. Draw a picture of a whale. Color the picture, cut it out and punch a hole in the top. Suspend the whale from a piece of string, and tape the other end of the string onto the shoe box so the whale hangs free. Cut plants and other sea creatures out of construction paper. Glue them to the box.
Make a flannel graph that depicts a whale's habitat to use as a school project. Cover a bulletin board or white board with blue felt. Draw or cut out pictures of whales, fish and under-sea creatures and plants. Write a story about a whale that gives factual information about their habitat. Use the flannel graph as a visual aide while reading the story in front of the class.
Take a field trip on a whale watching boat and write about it for a school project. Coastal areas have companies that take people out into the ocean where whale or groups of whales, called pods, have been seen. Take a trip on a whale-watching boat and take pictures of the adventure, including whales seen. Write an essay about the trip and include photos in the report.
Make a whale out of paper-mache to use as a school project. Build the body of the whale out of chicken wire, then cover it with strips of newspaper soaked in a paper-mache mixture. Once it's dry, paint the whale to resemble a real life whale. Then use a large box to create a habitat for the whale. Paint the inside of the box blue and add small fish and plants to resemble life under the sea
Another whale habitat school project is to decorate the classroom to look like it's under the sea. Hang green streamers from the ceiling to resemble sea-weed and tape paper to the wall and paint a sea mural on it. Have students pretend to be whales and swim through the ocean.
