Students identify patterns in chlorophyll concentration data to formulate their explanations of phytoplankton distribution.
Educational Resources - Search Tool
Students will identify and describe the relationship between watersheds and phytoplankton distribution.
This Lesson Plan provides maps, graphs, and data tables for use with the Data Literacy Cubes. Because it is a differentiated resource, it is appropriate for multiple grade bands.
Interpret the map, or model, to find patterns in the occurrence of tropical cyclones from 1842 through 2018.
Students use Phytopia: Exploration of the Marine Ecosystem, a computer-based tool, to investigate various phytoplankton species and topics relating to phytoplankton biology.
Students identify patterns and describe the relationship between chlorophyll concentration and incoming shortwave radiation.
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.
This lesson was based on an activity from UCAR Center for Science Education.
Students interpret a double bar/column chart comparing the number of tropical cyclones in different locations.
