Students walkthrough components of a float, looking at the process the float goes through to be ready to go out to sea. They create LEGO models of their float.

An introduction to the importance of float data.

In this introductory lesson, students will become familiar with accessing and reading float data.

Students will learn how to access data from GO-BGC floats in order to analyze and compare properties such as dissolved nitrates, oxygen and chlorophyll levels.

In this lesson, students will compare and contrast satellite data to float data.

Students will compare dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll a data collected at 3 different locations by Argo floats.

Students will construct, analyze, and interpret real data from a profiling float in the ocean. Students will explore ocean temperature trends and climate change.

Students will explore the topic of ocean acidification. They will construct, analyze and interpret a pH graph.

This activity allows students to incorporate data visualization skills to explore some of the data used to identify highly productive regions. Students will compare BGC-Argo Float data (e.g., chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen) to Satellite data (e.g., chlorophyll)

This lesson is intended as an introduction to the use of floats in the ocean. Students will create a comic strip based on how we can measure the ocean with a float.
