Ocean Task Cards

Ocean Task Cards are a no-prep, fun way to review the geology of the ocean floor, ocean food webs, and the physical properties and movement of ocean water.

Ocean Task Cards includes 28 task cards, a student response worksheet, and an answer key. Questions are multiple choice, multiple select, and analyzing models and food webs.

What will students review with these task cards?

With these Ocean Task Cards, students will review:

• salinity
• The properties of ocean water, including dissolved gases and dissolved solids
• The movement of ocean water, including tides, and currents
• How ocean currents affect global temperatures and ecosystems
• The geology of the ocean floor (continental shelf, continental slope, continental rise, trench, abyssal plain)
• Ocean food webs

What standards are covered?

These Ocean Task Cards are specifically aligned with the Virginia Science SOL 4.7, although they closely match most science standards related to the geology of the ocean floor, ocean food webs, and the physical properties and movement of ocean water.

These task cards have been updated to align with the 2018 Science SOLs AND the 2025 Science Instructional Guides.

Is a digital version included?

These Ocean Task Cards resource includes BOTH a digital version and a PDF version. The digital version can be accessed through Google Forms and allows students to easily self-check their work. You can also use the Google Forms task cards to track student progress.

When you purchase this product, you will be given access to a link that will allow you to open the file in Google Forms. You’ll then share that file with your students.

What if I want to create my own science task cards?

Four blank task cards are included so that you can create additional questions, if needed. For these task cards, you will print the blank cards and write your questions directly on the cards.
