Curated OER
Mining and Land Reclamation - A Classroom Simulation
Students simulate mining mineral resources using cookies. In this earth science lesson, students analyze the cost and profits in mining. They write a lab report about the activity.
Curated OER
Climate, Corals, and Change
Students examine oxygen isotope ratios and how they are related to water temperature. They also identify three forcing factor changes for climate change.
Curated OER
Is There Sewage in My Sample?
Young scholars explore the proximity of the Hudson Shelf Valley and the Hudson Canyon to one of the Nation's most populated areas. They study that from 1987 to 1992, two dumpsites in the Hudson Shelf Valley and Hudson Canyon, one 12 miles
Curated OER
Jelly Critters
Students compare and contrast three different organisms that are considered gelatinous zooplankton. They describe how they fit into marine food webs.
Curated OER
Three Cold Realms
Students identify organisms within the realms of pelagic, benthic and sea ice. They explain how these three interact with each other.
Curated OER
Where Have All the Glaciers Gone?
Students examine how climate change is affecting sea ice, vegetation and glaciers in the Arctic region.
Curated OER
Just Jelly
Students identify common gelatinous zooplankton in the Canada Basin and their ecological role. They compare and contrast feeding strategies of at least three different types of gelatinous zooplankton.
Curated OER
It's a Gas! Or is it?
Learners discover the principles of solubility and phase state and their influence on chemical phenomena observed around deep-sea volcanoes. They describe the effect of temperature and pressure on solubility of gasses and solid materials.
Curated OER
The Big Balancing Act
Students describe chemical changes occurring in hydrothermal circulation systems. They make inferences about the significance of these systems to ocean chemical balance compared to terrestrial runoff.
Curated OER
Cool Lights
Pupils investigate how and why deep-sea organisms produce light. They examine how these processes can be used to study deep ocean environments.
Curated OER
The Evolution of Canis pedatus
Students examine the given characteristics of a previously unknown dog-like creature, Canis pedatus, to decide if the creatures would survive when relocated to a new environment. They work in small groups to decide whether or not the...
Curated OER
What's Bright Red and Invisible?
Students study that very little sunlight penetrates the ocean below depths of 200 meters. They study that no light penetrates the ocean below depths of 1000 meters. They study that the quality of light changes as depth increase
Curated OER
Feeling Crabby?
Students analyze data to investigate the influence of water depth on size among deep-water crabs. They interpret results from this data, and apply the results regarding appropriate fishery regulations.
Curated OER
Leaving Home
Students explain the importance of larval dispersal and retention to populations. They collect data on organisms and examine it.
Curated OER
Are You Related?
Students study microsatellite markers and explain how they might be used to identify populations. They use data to make inferences about the populations of deep-sea corals.
Curated OER
Where Did They Come From?
Students explain hydrothermal vents and the process in which species and the hydrothermal vents become isolated.
Curated OER
Twisted Vision
Students explain polarization vision and why some animals have it while others do not. They examine the reasons why it would be helpful for marine organisms to have polarized light.
Curated OER
Which Side Is Which?
Students study the Louisiana Purchase and the journey of Lewis and Clark. They examine the Peace Medal nickel to differentiate between the heads side and tails side. They participate in a coin flip activity, graph the results and analyze...
Curated OER
Archeological Thinking
Sixth graders review the differences between a historian and archaeolgists. At a recent archaeological dig site, they examine the artifacts and determine their usage. In groups, they are given a bag full of artifacts and write down what...
Curated OER
Jeannette
Pupils develop hypothesis about what might happen when salt water is frozen. In groups, they freeze ice samples with different salt concentrations. They use the internet to research the situation of the Jeannette to discover their answer.
Curated OER
Sound Pictures
Learners examine the components of a sonar system. In this physical science lesson plan students explain how multibeam and sidescan sonar systems are useful to ocean explorers. Learners simulate sonar operations in an activity using a...
