In this literature worksheet, students first read the book A Day in the Salt Marsh. Students complete a ten question multiple choice quiz about the book.
Ninth graders explain interrelationships in salt marsh ecosystems. In this ecosystem lesson, 9th graders explain salt marsh populations and how abiotic and biotic factors affect them.
Sixth graders continue their examination of the state of Connecticut. After taking a field trip, they identify the types of birds, plants, invertebrates and vertebrates who make their home in the salt marshes. In groups, they identify the types of organisms that cannot live or function without the presence of another organism. They research ways humans are destroying the marshland and compare aerial photographs and topographical maps.
Students research species native to Louisiana's fresh marshes. They create freshwater food chains using researched species for presentation to the class. A class food web is created using individual food chains.
Seventh graders identify a variety of salt marsh organisms and identify survival adaptations.
Seventh graders complete a virtual online salt marsh tour. In groups, they observe and identify the various types of animals found in the marsh. After categorizing the animals, they create a food web based on the animals role in the ecosystem.
Here is a comprehensive and lengthy presentation on tidal wetlands. Many photos of grasses and the animals that live among them are included, making this a virtual field trip. The progression of the presentation is as if you would walk from the shore, through the lower and upper marsh, the storm zone, and finally the maritime forest. As long as your learners have a strong attention span, this resource is a thorough way to teach them about the wetlands habitat.
Water, currents, waves, salt marshes, and The Chesapeake Bay make up the categories for this Jeopardy-style game. In terms of functionality, it works well. However, it is unlikely that you focus on the Chesapeake Bay as part of your water unit. If you do, this PowerPoint is for you! If not, you could invest a little time in changing that category and the associated questions. This task would definitely be simpler than starting from scratch!
Students investigate and examine aquatic organisms collected from a salt water marsh. They collect the samples, identify the organisms, create sketches, conduct water quality tests, and play a nutrient game.
Students engage students in an ecological inquiry. They author a presentation to the Grounds Management Committee of their school giving their recommendation for the control of the invasive species purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) on campus.
