Free Printable Ocean Worksheets

One of my favorite themes to share with kids is the ocean. You can do many fantastic ocean science and STEM activities to learn about different aspects of ocean life. If you want to see more of our hands-on ocean activities, such as coastal erosion, ocean currents, squid movement, fish breathing, etc., you’ll want to look through our Ocean Activities for Kids Guide.

Whether you visit the ocean often, live by one, or have never been…kids love to learn all about it! Our ocean activities can be done even if no ocean is in sight!
