Global Phytoplankton Distribution Story Map
Introduction to Phytoplankton
Grade Level: 3-5, 6-8
In this lesson, students investigate and identify various phytoplankton using images that were previously taken with a compound microscope. Credit: This lesson is modified from a lesson of the same name created by The Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education (C-MORE)
What Color is the Ocean? A STEM Spectrophotometer Activity
Grade Level: 6-8, 9-12
In this activity, you will use an inexpensive spectrophotometer* to test how light at different visible wavelengths (blue, green, red) is transmitted, or absorbed, through four different colored water samples.
Phytopia's "Light & Color"
Grade Level: 3-5, 6-8, 9-12
This lesson is taken from NASA's Phytopia: Discovery of the Marine Ecosystem written in partnership with Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Science with funding from the National Science Foundation.
Phytopia: Exploration of Marine Ecosystem
Grade Level: 3-5, 6-8, 9-12
Students use Phytopia: Exploration of the Marine Ecosystem, a computer-based tool, to investigate various phytoplankton species and topics relating to phytoplankton biology.
