1. The Lifecycle of Ocean Waves<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/dt>\n
Students interpret first the pictures and then the text of this discussion of the patterns and causes of ocean waves. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/dd>\n

2. Waves and the Sandy Seashore- An Exploration<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/dt>\n
This lab explores how waves shape beaches and how structures humans build alter beach formation. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/dd>\n

3. Beach Sand: Littoral Sediments, Literary Sentiments<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/dt>\n
Students infer the origins of sand samples based on observable characteristics and then try to convey something about the science and the beauty of sand using haiku. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/dd>\n

4. Burrowing and Burying- Life on the Sandy Shore<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/dt>\n
Students observe the internal and external anatomy of a clam and explore how these structures enable the animal to survive in a wave-swept, sandy habitat. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/dd>\n

5. Shellfish and Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/dt>\n
This article summarizes the causes, detection and dangers of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning in clams and other filter-feeding shellfish. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/dd>\n

6. The Living Crab<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/dt>\n
Students observe a living crab and look for structures and behaviors that protect the crab, help it move and bury, enable it to find food and allow it to sense its environment. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/dd>\n

7. Marine Ecology and the Kelp Forests<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/dt>\n
Exploration of a kelp forest ecosystem growing along a wave-swept coast introduces basic concepts in ecology. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/dd>\n

8. Observing Algae<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/dt>\n
Students look for differences and similarities between green, brown and red algae. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/dd>\n

9. Practicing With Keys<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/dt>\n
Students learn how to use an identification key by keying out the identity of common objects. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/dd>\n

10. Identification of Common Marine Plants of the West Coast<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/dt>\n
This key allows identification of most algae in western coastal waters. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/dd>\n

11. Pressing Algae<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/dt>\n
Students press fresh algae specimens. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/dd>\n

12. Sea Forest<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/dt>\n
This reading explores the ecological and economic importance of marine algae. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/dd>\n

13. “Farming Four Feet Under” – Three Level Guide<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/dt>\n
This reading examines effort to cultivate algae as a food source. <\/a><\/p>\n
