Personalized Masts
Students will use modern International Marine Code Flags to create representations of their names. They will use the inspiration of the sailing vessels to name and create a coat of arms for their ship.
Curated OER
Collecting Field Trip
Students identify and describe each marine habitat. They name organisms that can be found in each habitat and discover ways in which to protect them. They participate in an activity to complete the lesson.
Curated OER
Benthic Bingo
Students identify organisms of a benthic community. They place the correct organism in the correct community and practice using marine terms. They play this game like a game of bingo.

What If the Reef Dies?
Students complete four activities to investigate how reef ecology can change. They perform experiments to show how sewage discharge can affect a marine ecosystem, look at substances that don't dissolve in water, examine wave action...
Curated OER
Critter Characteristics
Students explore the adaptations of deep sea life forms. In this science lesson, students watch a video to observe characteristics which allow for the sea creature to thrive in it's environment. Students determine the physical,...
