Being in Kansas we couldn't exactly take a field trip to the beach/ocean and few of my students have had those experiences. We needed ways to make the concepts real or concrete for the students.
PDF format was nice as well as being able to access the curriculum from an online account rather than needing to download it.The combination of science and social studies was nice and leant itself well to extension activities.
There were some areas we spent lots of time on (what is an ocean ocean animals beaches) and some we spent no time on (oceanography).
