Introduction<\/u><\/a><\/b><\/td><\/tr>\r\n
Unit 1: Plate Tectonics<\/u><\/b><\/font>\r\n\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

   1. Reunite Pangaea<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\r\n
Students examine 10 pieces of evidence for the theory of plate tectonics and then use these as guides in cutting apart a modern map and reconstructing the super-continent of Pangaea.\r\n<\/a>\r\n

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

   2. Slippin’ and Slidin’ – Plate Tectonics<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\r\n
A student reading with embedded questions summarizes the evidence supporting the theory of crustal plate movement.\r\n<\/a>\r\n

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

   3. The Ocean Floor<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\r\n
This reading describes some of the technology oceanographers use to map the ocean bottom and outlines major ocean floor features. \r\n<\/a>\r\n

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

   4. Packages: 3-D Earth Model<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\r\n
Students create a three-dimensional cross-section of the earth\u2019s crust. \r\n<\/a>\r\n

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

   5. Ocean Floor Features<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\r\n
Students locate on a map a wide range of sea floor structures and then identify the geological activity that created each structure. \r\n<\/a>\r\n

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

Unit 2: Hydrothermal Vents<\/u><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Section One: What Are Hydrothermal Vents?<\/b><\/dt>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

   6. Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Slide Show<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\r\n
A slide show prepared by Veronique Robigou from the University of Washington provides students with hydrothermal vent images.\r\n<\/a>\r\n

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

   7. Creating Hydrothermal Vent Chimneys<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\r\n
Students supersaturate a solution and observe the precipitate that forms, a process analogous to the formation of vent chimneys. \r\n<\/a>\r\n

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

Alternative lab: Hydrothermal Vent Formation<\/a><\/b><\/dd>\r\n
The creation of hydrothermal vent chimneys is simulated by precipitation of salt from a saturated solution.\r\n<\/a>\r\n

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

   8. Hot Water \u2013 Hydrothermal Vent Plumes and Fluid Dynamics Analysis<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\r\n
This demonstration shows how the temperature gradient at a vent creates a plume that rises and disperses. Students apply this and previous lab work to an analysis of how fluids flow through a vent system.\r\n<\/a>\r\n

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

Section Two: Navigation And Engineering- How Scientists Get To Hydrothermal Vents<\/b><\/dt>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

   9. Navigating Deep Sea Vents – Alvin Dive Log, Part 1<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\r\n
Students use map reading skills and calculations from transponder data to navigate on paper around a hydrothermal vent field.\r\n<\/a>\r\n

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

   10. Deep Sea Dive Simulation – Alvin Dive Log, Part 2<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\r\n
Students continue navigating around a hydrothermal vent field, but this time they simulate a dive in simple classroom models of ALVIN.\r\n<\/a>\r\n

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

Section Three: Hydrothermal Vent Organisms<\/b><\/dt>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

   11. Hydrothermal Vent Biology<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\r\n
Students try their hand at the same process scientists are going through as they observe vent organisms and try to infer their identity and natural history.\r\n<\/a>\r\n

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

   12. Hydrothermal Vent Food Webs<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\r\n
Students assemble a hydrothermal vent food web, connecting chemosynthetic bacteria and other vent organisms. \r\n<\/a>\r\n

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

   13. Symbiosis in the Deep Sea \u2013 Three-Level Guide<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\r\n
This journal article introduces students to the chemosynthesis-based food webs of the deep sea hydrothermal vents.\r\n<\/a>\r\n

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

   14. The Mating Game<\/a><\/b><\/font><\/dt>\r\n
Students play a hydrothermal vent game based on the TV show “Dating Game”.\r\n<\/a>\r\n

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