Lesson Plans
Can You Build Your Shipwright?
Students will explore a variety of research equipment used to determine the biochemical and geophysical activities of our oceans, then design a blueprint of a research vessel.
Data, or it Didn’t Happen
This lesson is aimed at helping students improve their skills with claims, evidence, and reasoning. Students will watch an introduction video, read and explore information on the topic, then answer prompts based on data.
Hatch a Tag
Students will discuss what data they would want to get from animals in the wild. They will work as groups to design a tag, and how to attach it to an animal.
Intro to ROVs
This is an introductory lesson to familiarize students with how ROVs are built and why ROVs are used.
Is Climate Change Impacting Salmon Populations?
Students will utilize Pacific Decadal Oscillation data, and Coho and Chinook Salmon data to explore the connection between salmon returns and water temperature.
Marine Algae and the Mystery of Dissolved Oxygen!
Students will access and interpret near real time marine data of dissolved oxygen to determine if their predictions are supported by real-world evidence.
Marine Careers: Meet Marine Movers and Shakers
Students will be introduced to an array of marine advocates including scientists, artists, educators and students.
Marine Mammal Strandings
Using marine mammal stranding data, students will create a model to document the location of strandings on the Oregon coast.
Ocean Acidification; Investigating Data
Students will explore recent and live data from buoys and oceanographic research vessels to explore the effects of both natural and anthropogenic factors on oceanic pH.
Stranded…How You Can Help!
Students will learn what marine mammal stranding is, how to read and interpret data to determine where and why strandings are occurring, and create a PSA to raise awareness about proper response to strandings.
The WAR for Carbonate Ions in Ocean Acidification
This short activity allows students to visualize the negative impacts on ocean organisms as the pH of the ocean drops (ocean acidification or OA).
