Sea State
Students explain the process of wave formation and analyze the relationship between the ocean and the atmosphere. In this oceans lesson students use buoys to cast real time sea state conditions.
Curated OER
Lesson tow
Students study the ocean and its characteristics. In this oceans lesson plan students complete a lab activity and are able to predict temperature of certain depths.
Curated OER
Mapping the Blue Part
Eighth graders determine the location of specific features of the stimulated ocean floor. The features include the continental shelf, continental slope, an ocean trench, and a mid-oceaniz ridge.
Curated OER
A Bioluminescent Gallery
Students 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...

So, What's it Doing Today?
Students describe short-term variations in oceanographic parameters in the Gulf Stream. In this ocean habitats lesson students use satellite imagery to obtain information in the Gulf Stream.
Curated OER
Oceanography
Fourth graders explore the importance of oceans in supporting life on earth and identify resources obtained from the ocean.
Curated OER
New: Around the World
First graders identify and demonstrate how symbols and models are used to represent features of the environment. They use a map and a globe to label where the students in the book came from, point out the continent, and show which ocean...
Curated OER
Lesson Six
Students examine the ocean and its vast resources. In this oceans instructional activity students complete a "seaweed candy" activity then eat their creation.
Curated OER
You Are What You Eat: Plastics and Marine Life
Students study the different types of plastics and see which ones sink or remain buoyant. In this ocean environmental lesson plan students complete several handouts, and view a film on PBS.
Curated OER
The Oceanographic Yo-Yo
Students examine how oceanographers use chemical and physical parameters of seawater to locate hydrothermal vents. In this ocean lesson plan students complete an activity and worksheets.
Curated OER
Why is There a Tidal Bulge Opposite the Moon?
Students simulate how the Moon causes ocean tides. In this earth science lesson, students calculate gravitational acceleration using a mathematical formula. They compare the force of attraction between the Earth, Moon and Sun system.
Curated OER
Oceans and Weather
Students analyze the impact the ocean and its currents have on weather. In this oceans and weather activity, students analyze data comparing inland and coastal weather, and analyze satellite data for evidence of El Nino.
Curated OER
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
