<\/td>\n		Discovering Puget Sound – Grades 4-6<\/b><\/a><\/font>

\nA look at the discoveries of early people living in Puget Sound sets the stage for activities
\nhighlighting the physical, biological and human factors that influence life in the Sound.
\nStudents quantify the miles of shoreline, examine beach sediments and investigate the
\ninterdependency of the marine organisms that live in our shoreline areas to provide the
\nbackground knowledge and skills necessary to take actions to assure the health of
\nPuget Sound.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

A Salmon in the Sound – Grades 6-8<\/b><\/a><\/font>

\nSalmon serves as a vehicle to focus on Puget Sound as an ecosystem that includes rivers and
\nwatersheds as well as saltwater environments. Diverse activities which integrate material
\nfrom many disiplines are united through a student text tracing the return of a Chinook salmon
\nfrom the open ocean to its spawning ground in the Skykomish River watershed. From food chains
\nand fishing to genetics and wild salmon, the activities highlight the difficult and complex
\nchoices Puget Sound residents must make concerning the management of our natural resources.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n
The Changing Sound – Grades 9-12<\/a><\/b><\/font>

\nAn investigation of the decline of the once abundant native Olympia oyster engages students in a wide variety of hands-on\/minds-on science activities from experimentally determining the size of Puget Sound to oyster anatomy and ecology to water quality testing. Integrating
\nmaterial from geography, history, writing, and problem solving as well, the activities focus on human interaction with oyster populations and lead students to a consideration of actions they might take for maintaining the health of Puget Sound.<\/p>\n
