Fish Census: Monitoring Finfish Populations In Chesapeake Bay, Rachel Dixon
Reports
Grades: 9-12 Subjects: Life Science | Biology | Oceanography
In this activity, students will utilize data collected from a scientific survey to explore where different fishes live in a coastal estuary, and how their populations change over time.
High To Low: Exploring Estuarine Gradients, Cristin Wright
High To Low: Exploring Estuarine Gradients, Cristin Wright
Reports
Grades: 9-12 Subjects: Earth Science | Biology | Oceanography
In this lesson, student scientists will examine nutrients, suspended sediment, and phytoplankton level then plot their results to track estuarine gradients.
Growing Up Is Hard: Vertical Accretion In Salt Marshes, Alex Smith
Growing Up Is Hard: Vertical Accretion In Salt Marshes, Alex Smith
Reports
Grades: 9-12 Subjects: Biology | Environmental Science | Oceanography
In this exercise, students will use graphing to examine the importance of natural environmental feedbacks on marsh survival.
Sunny-Side-Up: Temperature & Lobster Egg Development, Abigail Sisti
Sunny-Side-Up: Temperature & Lobster Egg Development, Abigail Sisti
Reports
Grades: 6-12 Subjects: Biology
This lesson allows students to use math and science to characterize the effects of temperature on lobster egg development. Students will measure features of lobster eggs at different time points and plot how they change across development. This development will be compared between lobsters from different environments, and students will be asked to draw conclusions about how these differences may relate to lobster performance and climate change.
Migrating To Motherhood: The Story Of Female Blue Crabs In Their Ecosystem, Alex Schnieder
Migrating To Motherhood: The Story Of Female Blue Crabs In Their Ecosystem, Alex Schnieder
Reports
Grades: 6-12 Subjects: Life Science
This lesson guides students through an investigation of the migratory patterns of blue crabs, their life stages, ecosystem use by life stage, harvest, and human impacts to their population.
Watercolors: Relating Properties Of Light To Organic Matter And Ecosystem Production, Derek Detweiler
Watercolors: Relating Properties Of Light To Organic Matter And Ecosystem Production, Derek Detweiler
Reports
Grades: 9-12 Subjects: Chemistry | Biology | Oceanography | Environmental Science
Using properties of light, students will determine the source and composition of dissolved organic matter in estuaries influenced by different land types its subsequent relationship with ecosystem production.
Etiology In Action: Identifying Aquaculture Disease Threats Through Data Analysis, Malina Loeher
Etiology In Action: Identifying Aquaculture Disease Threats Through Data Analysis, Malina Loeher
Reports
Grades: 9-12 Subjects: Biology | Environmental Science | Oceanography
How do scientists identify emerging disease threats? In this lesson, students will examine fish health, aquatic disease ecology, and aquaculture practices to answer this question.
