Curated OER
Algae Experiments
Students describe the characteristics of algae. In this biology lesson, students perform a series of experiment to explore algae. They investigate the basic things algae need to survive.

Brine Shrimp 1: Hatching Brine Shrimp
Students review their prior knowledge on brine shrimp. In groups, they raise a group of brine shrimp and design an artificial environment in which they can live. They change the conditions of the environment to see how the shrimp react...
Curated OER
Crab Lab
Students participate in an activity in which they observe the behavior of a crab. In groups, they label and identify the function of each main part while observing and record their behavior. They make educated guesses on why they...
Curated OER
Environmental Differences
Young scholars observe and conduct an experiment to see whether differences in salinity (the environment) have an affect on the hatching rate and survival of brine shrimp.
Curated OER
The Brine Shrimp Project
Tenth graders design and conduct a laboratory investigation to determine how different factors may affect the hatching and development of brine shrimp eggs.
Curated OER
Influence of the World's Ocean Currents on the Carbon C
Students, in groups, observe how the salt content and temperature of water affects the ocean currents. They also read articles and dicuss.
Curated OER
Brine Shrimp Survival
Students develop an understanding of how growth and survival of an organism depends on physical conditions. They design an artificial environment in which brine shrimp can thrive. Students determine the optimum salinity for hatching of...
