How Do Weather Conditions Affect the Hatching Rates of Brine Shrimp

Learners participate in classroom experiment to gain better understanding of type of environment brine shrimp can best survive. Students then explore effects of common saltwater pollutants on survival of animals in sea.

Young scholars hatch brine shrimp in a classroom experiment. In this hatching brine shrimp lesson, students participate in two-week lab in which they study how brine shrimp hatch under different conditions. They record data about the...

What effects do temperature and carbon dioxide levels have on the zooplankton of Antarctica? This concluding lesson plan in a short unit on climate change and the ocean helps environmental scientists answer these questions. After...

Students experiment with temperature and salinity to detect favorable environments for hatching brine shrimp eggs. They make some predictions about which environments will yield the most hatched brine shrimp and record the number of...

It's time to mix things up! Introduce biology scholars to the latest topic in marine research—invertebrates! The third installment in a five-part series of Invertebrates lessons explains the hypothesis that tiny, migrating shrimp are...

Gather small observations of arthropods. Using brine shrimp, pupils observe the life cycle of arthropods. Learners set up saltwater aquariums and observe the brine shrimp over a three-week period. To finish, they compare and contrast how...

In this lab, students will practice inquiry with some guidance. They will begin by observing brine shrimp that have hatched. They will formulate possible testable questions to investigate about brine shrimp. Then as a class they will...

Middle schoolers review their prior knowledge on brine shrimp. In groups, they raise a group of brine shrimp and design an artificial environment in which they can live. They change the conditions of the environment to see how the...

Students develop an understanding of how the growth and survival of an organism (brine shrimp) depends on physical conditions. This is accomplished by designing an experiment to determine the optimum salinity of water needed to hatch...

Students determine the optimal temperature at which brine shrimp eggs hatch and develop. They evaluate the changes, if any, which occur in a brine shrimp culture at various temperatures.
