Learners explore ocean vessels that drill the ocean floor. In this ocean drilling lesson, students watch videos about drilling the ocean floor and discuss. Learners get into groups, go outside and use string to mark off the amount of space the drilling vessel would take up.
High schoolers examine the components of a sonar system. In this physical science lesson students explain how multibeam and sidescan sonar systems are useful to ocean explorers. High schoolers simulate sonar operations in an activity using a motion detector and a graphing calculator.
Students describe major features of cold seep communities and list the organisms that are typical in these communities. In this deep sea environment instructional activity students work in groups and research their given cold seep group.
Learners examine the different types of luminescence in deep sea organisms. In this bioluminescence lesson, students investigate how color and light aide deep ocean organisms by describing the characteristics of the habitat and completing a study guide. They define the differences in chemiluminescence, bioluminescence, fluorescence, and phosphorescence before telling how each is helpful to deep sea organisms.
Learners explore screening processes for biological activity. In this deep sea instructional activity students complete a lab activity.
Students examine how differences in deep sea fish create different strategies for survival. In this adaptations lesson students complete a lab activity.
Students discover the methods scientists use to investigate Oceanic habitats. In this oceanography lesson, students utilize the Internet to identify deep sea submersibles and how they help scientists study the Charleston Bump. Students create a sea organism experiment by sampling different cakes and identifying what makes them each unique.
Students examine deep-sea coral. In this coral activity, students identify the structure and function of a coral polyp. Students then create a model of a coral polyp.
Students compare and contrast deep sea and shallow water coral reefs. They describe the three types of coral in deep sea coral reefs. They discover why there is a need to protect the coral reefs for the future.
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.
