Learners discuss the Great Salt Lake and conduct an experiment that shows how weather affects the hatching of brine shrimp from the Great Salt Lake.
In this lesson students observe brine shrimp eggs, create an appropriate environment for their survival, and observe their growth.
Students discuss seasonal changes and how they effect animals. They conduct an experiment that shows how weather affects the hatching of brine shrimp. They record and discuss the results.
Students explore the effects of temperature on Brime Shrimp hatching. Temperatures are recorded and predictions made about the best temperature for the hatching. The effects of various seasonal temperature changes on the shrimp microcosms are explored.
