Curated OER
Azimuth and Altitude
Students use a compass and their hands to find positions of stars and planets in the night sky or of the sun during the day.
Curated OER
Waters of the Earth
Students make a striking visual display showing the distribution of water on earth.
Curated OER
True North, Magnetic North
Young scholars 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.
Curated OER
The Stone Boat Mystery
Students design and execute a lab through which they study the distinctions between density, buoyancy, and volume.
Curated OER
Sinking Races
Young scholars 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!
Curated OER
Microfishing
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.
Curated OER
Lights, Shoals & Soundings
Students explore nautical charts and their symbols, with a bit of fun thrown in.
Curated OER
Density Dynamics
Students set up working models demonstrating lake turnover and the formation of deep water masses in the oceans.
Curated OER
Exploring the Aral and Salton Seas
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...
Curated OER
Life is Weird!
Students describe major features of cold seep communities, and list at least five organisms typical of these communities. They infer probable trophic relationships among organisms typical of cold-seep communities and the surrounding...
Curated OER
Sea Floor Spreading
Pupils recreate sea-floor spreading and the pattern of magnetic stripes that are created by different configurations of plate boundaries. They see how transform faults work.
Curated OER
Still Movement
Students explore constant motion. Using photography equipment and a dark room, students develop photographs that depict motion. Students demonstrate the proper use of photograph equipment.
Curated OER
Galapagos Rift Expedition Come On Down!
Students research the development and implementation of a research vessel/vehicle used for deep ocean exploration. In this oceanography lesson plan, students calculate the density of objects by determining the mass and volume.
Curated OER
Dolphin Brains
Students listen to an interview with Lori Marino regarding the development of dolphin brains and read a summarizing text. They conduct further research and participate in class discussion.
Curated OER
Ocean Stratigraphy Challenge
Students are asked to explain the sequence of rock and sediment types and to devise an experiment to test this hypothesis. It is intended for students with some prior knowledge of oceanography, sedimentary geology, and plate tectonics...
Curated OER
Sound Pictures
Students examine the components of a sonar system. In this physical science lesson students explain how multibeam and sidescan sonar systems are useful to ocean explorers. Students simulate sonar operations in an activity using a motion...
Curated OER
Papier Mache Globe
Students use newspapers and balloons to create a paper mache globe. They define areas of land and sea with geen and blue tempera paint, then define borders with markers.
Curated OER
A Tough Neighborhood
Students describe at least three attributes of the deep ocean physical environment that are radically different from ocean habitats near the sea surface.Students explain at least three morphological or physiological adapt
Curated OER
Loss of Wetlands: Subsidence
Young scholars observe subsidence and the effect it has on wetlands with a classroom demonstration. They think about the impact of global warming and the sea level and how it affects the marsh.
Curated OER
It's Not My Problem!
Students examine how rivers flow through the country to sea level. Students study how upstream pollution effects the water and people downstream.
Curated OER
Judges in the Classroom - Mock Trials
Students conduct a mock trial and follow established procedures role-playing attorneys, witnesses, judges, bailiffs, etc. Students examine documents, present arguments and decide a case in which a sea lion is on trial for eating fish.
Curated OER
What is Diversity of Life?
Students are introduced to the variety of organisms in our world. this instructional activity is a part of a multi-segmented unit on specie diversity. this segment explores distribution of life on land and sea.
Curated OER
Environmental Science/Water Pollution
Pupils study natural habitats, aquatic life, renewable and non-renewable resources. They discuss conservation efforts for sea otters and desert toad in this units.
Curated OER
Forests of the Deep
Students identify three ways in which seamounts are important to biological communities. They also discover how deep-sea corals are important to the seamounts. They finally explain why scientients are worried about the future of ecosystems.
