Students examine deaf culture and the role that American Sign Language plays in forging a sense of community.

Young scholars teach Biology concepts to elementary students, in particular deaf young scholars, by traveling once a month to the elementary classroom with activities / lessons that have been selected and prepared by the older students.

Young scientists explore hearing through multiple experiments, demonstrations, and activities. They focus on the changes in hearing over a lifetime, how we can determine where a sound is coming from, and the ability to filter noises.

Students identify the three realms of the Arctic Ocean, and describe the relationships between these realms. They describe different species associations in a benthic community.

Students explain the process and significance of chemosynthesis. They develop their own graphic based on data of a biological community. They estimate the age of a given species as well.

Pupils explore the process of chemosynthesis and relate it to the biological communities in cold seeps. In this biochemistry lesson students interpret analyses of enzyme activity and draw inferences about organisms in cold seep communities.

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

Identify beliefs, values and attitudes of deaf culture. Explore the causes and special communication needs of deafness, research the role that American Sign Language plays in forging a sense of community and create your own "sign name".
