The preschool children have been talking about the whale migration along the east coast of Australia. this has led to a discussion about sea creatures. The educator listened intently, smiled and actively participated in the discussion. The educator decidesto set up an outdoor play experience with the water through, water, shells, vegetation and sea animals that will allow the children to explore this interest.
In the library area the educator adds books and posters, as well as national geographic magazines. These contain facts about sea creatures and depict sea animals in their natural environment. The educator observes the children, Recording their ideas and conversations and then invites them to draw their ideas in the project book.

I have answered all questions for this scenario. But I left 3 questions out. Please help me out for these 3 above.

.
What is your experience? If you did a water trough with sea animals, you need to add the reasons why the experience of the water trough with the sea animals and the national geographic would be interesting to the children

Describe the vocabulary that could be introduced to children during this experience.

You need to refer to the vocabulary the preschoolers can learn. Choose words that you could teach the preschoolers based on their interest. They are not in the scenario but relate to their interest.
