This Old Tubeworm
Students plot data to construct and interpret a graph about vestimentiferans at cold-seep sites in the Gulf of Mexico. In this deep sea lesson, students plot data provided for the growth of tubeworms. They use the graphs to determine...
Curated OER
Polar Bear Panic!
Students identify the three realms of the Arctic Ocean, and describe the relationships between these realms. They graphically analyze data on sea ice cover in the Arctic Ocean, and recognize a trend in these data.

Being Productive in the Arctic Ocean
High schoolers identify the three realms of the Arctic Ocean, and describe the relationships between these realms. They identify major factors that limit primary productivity in the Arctic Ocean.

Glucose
Students conduct various experiments on glucose. In this biology lesson plan, students differentiate the process of diffusion and osmosis. They test different foods for the presence of glucose and starch.
Curated OER
This Life Stinks
High schoolers study how organisms that live in cold seep communities get energy from methane. In this organism lesson students write a brief report and identify oxidation reduction reactions and explain if these are dependent of...
Curated OER
Monsters of the Deep
Students describe major features of cold seep communities and list the organisms that are typical in these communities. In this deep sea environment lesson students work in groups and research their given cold seep group.
Curated OER
Life is Weird
Students describe features of cold seep communities and investigate five organisms that live there. In this biological organisms lesson students research a given species and give an oral presentation on their results.
Curated OER
Let's Make a Tubeworm!
Students discuss deep-sea chemosynthetic communities then create a poster of a three-dimensional tubeworm. In this creative lesson students create their own tubeworm and write a written report on it.
Curated OER
Energy Extravaganza
Tenth graders study how cells and organisms acquire and release energy through photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They explain that living organisms use matter and energy to synthesize a variety of organic molecules and they will...
Curated OER
Earth Systems Science
Students perform experiments designed to grow plants and bacteria in a controlled environment. In this ecosystems instructional activity students investigate varying conditions for growing plants and bacteria.
Curated OER
Life is Weird!
Students describe major features of cold seep communities, and list at least five organisms typical of these communities. They infer probable trophic relationships among organisms typical of cold-seep communities and the surrounding...

Meet the Arctic Benthos
Students recognize and identify major groups found in the Arctic benthos. They describe common feeding strategies used by benthic animals in the Arctic Ocean. They discuss relationships between
Curated OER
Let's Get to the Bottom of the Arctic!
Pupils identify the three realms of the Arctic Ocean, and describe the relationships between these realms. They describe different species associations in a benthic community.
