Activity 1: Apples and Oceans<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\n
Students slice an apple and draw a pie chart to represent the small amount of drinkable water on land, and the small portion of the ocean that is highly productive.\n<\/a>\n

<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n

Activity 2: Current Trends<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\n
Students rotate through experimental stations where they create currents with wind and by combining water of different temperatures and salinities.\n<\/a>\n

<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n

Activity 3: Mirounga, Mirounga<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\n
Students work cooperatively to teach each other about parts of the elephant seal life cycle and adaptations to contend with both the marine and terrestrial environments and then participate in a “gameshow” to check for understanding.\n<\/a>\n

<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n

Activity 4: Squid Dissection<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\n
Students dissect a squid to study its adaptations and then participate in a squid feast.\n<\/a>\n

<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n

Activity 5: The Great Plankton Race<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\n
Students construct and race plankton models made from various materials to simulate adaptations to slow sinking. They then graph sinking rates.\n<\/a>\n

<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n

Activity 6: Class Action Whale<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\n
Students act out specific body parts of whales then put the parts together to act out behaviors and adaptations.\n<\/a>\n
