Exploring Limu Diversity
Young scholars explore limu diversity. In this ocean ecosystem lesson, students classify limu according to its physical properties. Young scholars work in small groups to generate scientific observations and sort limu by characteristics.
Curated OER
Chewin' in the Chesapeake
Students examine a web page on food webs and select a habitat to research. In this research lesson plan students identify the organisms found in the food web and present their findings to the class.
Curated OER
Easy as Pi
Students describe the importance of structural features that increase surface area in a coral reef habitat. In this investigative activity students quantify the impact of modifications on surface area in model habitats.
Curated OER
Entering the Twilight Zone
Students describe major features of cold seep communities and list organisms that are found in these communities. In this water habitat activity students examine trophic levels, describe the process of chemosynthesis and list the...
