Spiny Lobster Examples

• The spiny lobsters move in straight, single-file lines as they migrate. They gently touch each other to stay in their lines. In this way they move as a group across the ocean floor.

  7.2.7 Demonstrate increased originality in using partner or group relationships to define spatial floor patterns, shape designs, and entrances and exits.

   

• Their migration path goes from random to organized. When all of the lobsters set out, they are all in different locations, but then they meet together and form very organized groups.

  3.1.1 Combine and perform basic locomotor skills, moving on a specific pathway (e.g., skip in circles, slide in zigzags, run in a variety of linear paths). Combine and perform locomotor and axial movements.

   

• The spiny lobster has a short migration.

  3.1.3 Perform short movement problems, emphasizing the element of force/energy (e.g., swing, melt, explode, quiver).

   

• The spiny lobster feels the movements of the waves and orients itself according to where the waves are positioned.

  4.2.5 Convey a range of feelings through shape/postures and movements when performing for peers.
