Students study seawater and how temperature and salinity influence it.  In this oxygen lesson students complete a lab activity on dissolved oxygen. 

Students study the biology and morphology of Lophelia corals.  In this investigative lesson students explain how the coral contributes to communities, and create a poster.  

Students study how tectonic plates can produce earthquakes.  In this earthquake lesson students use a model earthquake machine to explore hypotheses about earthquakes. 

Students study earthquakes and how sediment accumulations are used for past information on earthquakes.  In this earthquake lesson students interpret sediment cores and describe turbidites. 

Students study web pages on a shipwreck then locate where this took place on a map.  In this marine archaeologist lesson students examine what clues archaeologists use to find the location of a shipwreck and  what they might find.

Students identify and explain factors that contribute to extreme storms in the Great Lakes.  For this investigative lesson students study the weather systems in the Great Lakes and compare cyclones to tropical storms. 

Students study sinkholes and how they are associated with paleoamerican settlements.  In this underwater exploration  lesson students explain how sinkholes are formed.

Students examine the different types of luminescence in deep sea organisms. In this bioluminescence activity, students investigate how color and light aide deep ocean organisms by describing the characteristics of the habitat and...

Students investigate the vision adaptations in marine animals in their environments. In this life science instructional activity, students use polarized filters and make observations.  Students explain how the adaptation of...

Students identify and discuss key factors that determine how effective color camouflage is in certain habitats.  For this investigative lesson students divide into groups and study light. 

Students explore biology by completing an illness worksheet. For this human germs lesson, students identify how germs are transferred from one body to another and the prevention methods that can be taken. Students complete a worksheet...

Students explore forms that water can take and examine the water cycle. In this hands-on science lesson, students participate in activities that require them to change water to a solid and back to a liquid again.

Pupils explore forms that water can take. In this science lesson, students participate in hands-on activities that require them to change water to a solid and back to a liquid again.

Students study how buoyancy, pressure, and light can effect the work of underwater scientists.  In this marine science lesson students complete a lab that allows them to better understand how pressure varies with altitude and...

Students study barrel sponges. For this science and art lesson, students discuss what sponges are, create their own sponge, and share what they created with the rest of the class.

Students discuss their morning as they prepared to come to school. The teacher guides the discussion so students understand ways they relied on agriculture to accomplish tasks. Students view pictures of various farm machinery. As the...

In this science experiment worksheet, students mix borax, custard powder (pudding mix?), glue and water to make a bouncy ball. Students carry out bouncing and stretching investigations.

In this science exploration worksheet, students use a plastic mirror and a bowl full of water to get a fish's eye view of a water surface. Students follow the directions to conduct this investigation.

In this science investigation worksheet, students follow the directions to mix raisins in clear carbonated soda to watch them sink and rise.

Students study the concepts of "variety" and "relative abundance" as they relate to biological diversity.  In this life science lesson students calculate numbers that describe the biological diversity in certain communities. 

Students study the organisms that are found in cold seeps and see how they interact with each-other.  For this biological organism lesson students describe the major features of cold seeps and the process of chemosynthesis. 

Young scholars study cold seeps and see how organisms obtain energy from methane.  In this sinkholes lesson students examine the relevance of chemosynthesis to communities. 

Students study cleaning stations. In this science lesson, students make a painting of a fish known as cleaners which take dead skin off of other fish.

Learners study zoanthids. In this science and art lesson, students use line to create texture and how to use colors to create value. Learners share their beautiful mat zoanthids with the rest of the class.
