Ocean Densities (Grades P-5)
Ocean Densities (Grades P-5)
Activity Time: 20 minutes
This activity introduces ocean density through a visual experiment for students. Students will explore how differences in salinity and temperature affect density, and how density affects an object's ability to sink or float.
A Salmon's Way Home (Grade 5-7)
A Salmon's Way Home (Grade 5-7)
Activity time: 40 minutes
This activity looks at how different life stages of animals live in different habitats. The students will explore how salmon migrate to the sea and then return to the same river where they were born, using their sense of smell to find their way back. The students will work in groups to try to get one of their team members back to their river without their ability to see. Additionally, the students will explore how humans have affected the ability of salmon to find their rivers.
Fish Adaptations (Grade 5-8)
Fish Adaptations (Grade 5-8)
Activity time: 60 minutes
This activity looks at how different fish species are from each other and why this makes them better fit for different parts of the ocean. The students will make a fish using board game cards and play a Snakes and Ladders-style game to see how well each adaptation can perform in different scenarios.
Wave and Tides (Grades 6-8)
Wave and Tides (Grades 6-8)
Activity Time: 30 minutes
This program introduces the ocean tides and waves. Students will learn how the moon, sun, and seasons affect the force of tides and their associated waves through the use of interactive displays. Students will also learn how animals like shellfish can slow down waves, decrease erosion and how climate change is affecting these shellfish.
Ocean Floor Mapping (Grade 7-12)
Ocean Floor Mapping (Grade 7-12)
Activity Time: 45 minutes
This program is ideal for a math class. In this activity, students will learn about the different bathymetric techniques used to map the ocean floor. Students will work in pairs or a small group to replicate ocean floor mapping using physical 3D models, tools, and data visualization techniques, such as clay and graphing.
