Killer From The Deep!, Tor Mowatt-Larssen
Reports
Grades: 6-12 Subjects: Life Science | Ecology
Explore the deep-sea environment and biological adaptations to living in the deep sea through murder-mystery investigation and graphing activities.
Shifting Sands: Coastal Dunes In Motion, Elizabeth Davis
Shifting Sands: Coastal Dunes In Motion, Elizabeth Davis
Reports
Grades: 5+ Subjects: General Science, Geology, Environmental Science
Students will use “before & after” dune profile graphics to determine how the dune has changed and hypothesize why this change occurred.
How Resilient Is It? The Resilience Quotient Zoning Ordinance, Qiong Wang, Yao Wang
How Resilient Is It? The Resilience Quotient Zoning Ordinance, Qiong Wang, Yao Wang
Reports
Grades: 9-12 Subjects: Environmental Science, Earth Science, Oceanography
The Resilience Quotient (RQ) system uses zoning ordinance to address coastal resilience development issues in the city of Norfolk, Virginia. This lesson plan goes through key resilience concepts and its strategies that can promote flood risk reduction, stormwater management, and energy resilience. The activity provides several scenarios to help students understand, simulate, visualize, discuss, and practice how the Resilience Quotient works for coastal developments in the city.

Grades: 6 Subjects: Earth Science | Natural Resources
With this activity, students will learn the importance of aquaculture and how it can be used to manage a resource.
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Whose Fish? Subjects: Life Science, Environmental Science, Marine / Ocean Science, Shelby White
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Whose Fish? Subjects: Life Science, Environmental Science, Marine / Ocean Science, Shelby White
Reports
This activity invites students to assume the role of various stakeholders in fisheries management and actively discuss the influence of economics, ecology and human interactions in decision-making.
Students will demonstrate their argument for/against a certain regulation by participating as a specific stakeholder (i.e. commercial fisher, recreational fisher, scientists/researcher, environmental group, management agency, and citizen). Students will recognize that stakeholders tend to advocate based on their individual needs, often making it difficult for proposed policies to satisfy the needs of all stakeholders and achieve sustainability goals.
The Watershed Game: Land Use & Water Quality. Subjects: Environmental Science, Marine/Ocean Science, Life Science/Biology Grades: 9-12, Shanna Williamson
The Watershed Game: Land Use & Water Quality. Subjects: Environmental Science, Marine/Ocean Science, Life Science/Biology Grades: 9-12, Shanna Williamson
Reports
This lesson plan is a hands-on activity that allows students to explore how water and nutrients are transported from a watershed with three different land cover types and eventually ends up in a nearby stream.
Wonderful Wetlands: Why Do We Need Them And What Can They Do For Us? Subjects: Environmental Science, Marine/Ocean Science, Life Science/Biology Grades: 9-12, Amanda Knobloch
Reports
This lesson plan introduces students to a variety of different types of wetlands and how they function in the coastal environment. Students will work through activities that illustrate the economic importance of wetlands and the services wetlands provide, as well as building conceptual models of wetlands to illustrate these points.

Assessing The County’S Readiness For A Climate Related Event, Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve In Virginia
Reports
Grade Level: 9-12
Subject Area: Earth Science, Environmental Science
Students will participate in a role playing scenario in which they represent different stakeholder groups, including emergency responders, land planners, and watermen. Using a variety of provided resources, students are given a task to present on, whether it be creating an evacuation route for their county and identifying shelters, establishing new areas for development, or locations for the best catch of crabs in the year 2050.
Lesson plan has 2 parts.

Reports
The clock is ticking for local governments. Beginning in 2014, many local governments must plan, finance, and implement stormwater management/ pollutant reduction action plans that achieve a significant decrease in polluted stormwater runoff within the next 10 to 15 years. These plans are required to meet regulatory commitments associated with Virginia Stormwater Management Program and Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) stormwater permits, Virgina’s Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP), and the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (Bay TMDL) allocations.
To achieve our water quality goals, we will need to take a coordinated, structured, and collaborative approach - coordinating across sectors …
