Beaches of the Delaware Estuary
Young scholars examine estuaries in Delaware. They, in groups, gather samples of water to find organisms and identify them.
Curated OER
Bauxite: More Than A Small Town
Young scholars identify the mineral bauxite and its impact on the community and the world. They use the Internet to research the mineral and its uses. They draw a picture depicting the uses of bauxite.
Curated OER
Estuaries Live Charlotte Harbor, Florida
Students reorganize sentence strips into paragraphs to learn about seagrasses. They learn vocabulary and facts about sea grasses using the paragraphs once they are reconstructed. They continue their study with a number of associated...
Curated OER
Understanding Estuaries
Middle schoolers work together to develop their own estuarine ecosystem in an aquarium. They observe the aquarium daily and record them in a notebook. They discuss the different interactions they see with the class.
Curated OER
Phragmites australis: Invasive Plant Species
Students research and investigate invasive species, with specific focus on the exotic plant Phargmites australis and its impact on Piermont Marsh near the community of Piermont, New York.
Curated OER
Exploring the Aral and Salton Seas
High schoolers investigate the environments of the Aral and Salton Seas. They use images taken from the space shuttle, the U2 spy planes, and remote sensing satellites to learn more about what is happening in each region. Students...
Curated OER
Ecology
Students examine the relationship between the environment and those that have to live in it. They discover that we are responsible for our environment and understand the consequences of its neglect.
Curated OER
Jeannette
Middle schoolers develop hypothesis about what might happen when salt water is frozen. In groups, they freeze ice samples with different salt concentrations. They use the internet to research the situation of the Jeannette to discover...
Curated OER
Layering of Water
Students examine what happens when different types of water meet. In groups, they participate in an activity in which they combine different percentages of salt, fresh and brackish water and record their observations. They let the...
Curated OER
Currents: Bad for Divers; Good for Corals
Students describe, compare, and contrast major forces that drive ocean currents. They discuss the general effects of topography on current velocity. They discuss how velocity affects the ability
Curated OER
This Old Tubeworm
Students explain the process and significance of chemosynthesis. They develop their own graphic based on data of a biological community. They estimate the age of a given species as well.
Curated OER
Potato Fish Adaptations
Students examine fish adaptations. They identify types of adaptations, and create a 3-D model of an imaginary fish that demonstrates various adaptations using a potato and craft materials.
Curated OER
Emersonian Jelly Beans
Students write a journal entry describing how a jelly bean is like an idea. They discuss the entries and write why jelly beans are not like an idea. They create an Argus-like poster of one of the ideas and describe how the idea shows...
