Students research an historical weather disaster and create a group media presentation emphasizing the importance of weather around the world and on the sea. Presentation is in the format of a T.V. news story, a radio news story, or a...

Students describe limitations of fresh water resources on ships at sea. They realize the value of fresh water on the ocean and around the world. Students gain a knowledge of the process and economic cost of desalinization.

Students explore hurricanes, the factors that contribute to them, and the role warmer sea surface temperatures may have on them. They perform experiments to observe energy transfer. Students explore the possible causes and effects of...

Ninth graders identify and apply some of the vocabulary used in Science concerning the Sea Perch project. They view a video of The Hunt for Red October, and students make a comparative study of the translation of the printed work onto...

Students identify and define Hydroelectric dams that provide us with electricity. Then they identify a variety of methods that have been used to try to help salmon make it past the dams on their journey to the sea. Students also become...

In this word puzzle, students identify fifty words related to The Odyssey in a word puzzle. Examples include Penelope, sea, and journey.

In this biology worksheet, learners identify and locate various vocabulary terms pertaining to animals of the sea. There are 18 marine animals located in the word search.

In this science animal coloring worksheet, students color black-line pictures of 4 common seashore creatures. They color a Calico Scallop, a Blue Crab, a Hermit Crab, and a Sea Grape.

Students become familiar with the different types of ships, their uses at sea, and their evolution over time. The students will also be introduced to some vocabulary describing the different parts of a ship and will then have to use that...

Students investigate magnetic evidence that supports the theory of sea floor spreading.

Learners make puzzles from world maps, dramatizing how much of the globe is covered by ocean.

Students observe and discuss the advantages of camouflage, then try their hands at designing a well-camouflaged fish.

Learners integrate history and science while discovering how salinity affects the density of water. After a lecture/demo, students work in groups to complete a lab activity that demonstrates how salinity affects the density of water.

Young scholars use a compass and their hands to find positions of stars and planets in the night sky or of the sun during the day.

Students make a striking visual display showing the distribution of water on earth.

Students explain why compass angles need to be corrected for regional magnetic variation. They observe the difference between magnetic and true north. Each student measures the angle of variation for a town in a different state.

Young scholars design and execute a lab through which they study the distinctions between density, buoyancy, and volume.

Students build plankton models and compete to see which sinks most slowly. They write, or orally present ,the adaptations they incorporated to slow the sinking rate of their organisms. Race results can be grounds for some prizes!

Students use a simple method to collect living microorganisms from natural and/or artificial environments and develop skills in microscopy, observation, drawing, speculation, hypothesizing, oral presentation, and raising questions.

Students explore nautical charts and their symbols, with a bit of fun thrown in.

Students set up working models demonstrating lake turnover and the formation of deep water masses in the oceans.

Students 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 discuss the...
