Global Phytoplankton Distribution Story Map
Grade Level: 3-5, 6-8, 9-12
This story map lesson plan allows students to explore global phytoplankton distribution using chlorophyll concentration data in a 5 E-learning cycle.
Global Phytoplankton Distribution
Grade Level: 3-5, 6-8, 9-12
Students identify patterns in chlorophyll concentration data to formulate their explanations of phytoplankton distribution.
Phytoplankton Distribution and Watersheds
Grade Level: 3-5, 6-8, 9-12
Students will identify and describe the relationship between watersheds and phytoplankton distribution.
Chlorophyll Concentration and Incoming Shortwave Radiation
Grade Level: 3-5, 6-8, 9-12
Students identify patterns and describe the relationship between chlorophyll concentration and incoming shortwave radiation.
The Nitrogen Cycle Game
Grade Level: 3-5, 6-8
Students will explore the Nitrogen Cycle by modeling the movement of a nitrogen atom as it passes through the cycle. Students will stop in the different reservoirs along the way, answering questions about the processes that brought them to the different reservoirs.
Creating Images from Numbers
Grade Level: 6-8
Scientific data are often represented by assigning ranges of numbers to specific colors. The colors are then used to make false color images which allow us to see patterns more easily. Students will make a false-color image using a set of numbers.
Creating and Interpreting Images as Models
Grade Level: 9-12
Information from satellites if often used to display information about objects. This information can include how things appear, as well as their contents. Explore how pixel data sequences can be used to create an image and interpret it.
