Students will study hurricanes by integrating various elements such as tracking, upwellings, Chlorophyll-a, and GO-BGC floats to gather and analyze data.

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.

Hawaii is feeling the effects of climate change as added stress in the water cycle such as floods and drought. How will this affect the local communities?

Students will collect and evaluate hurricane information from multiple sources, then communicate their learning through student created videos.

An introduction to the importance of float data.

Students look at maps and make predictions for a mystery event. They then compare and contrast data from the event to the current date.

Coral reefs are bleaching due to climate change. Students investigate why the coral is bleaching & how to differentiate between healthy coral and bleached coral.

Students will investigate the human impact of land usage using water recharge data on O’ahu.

Students will explore the use of tagging technologies in the research being conducted in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica.

Students will utilize a guided WebQuest to research the possible future effects of ocean acidification, explore current models used to predict the changes in the ocean’s pH and discuss the current data collection for research.

Students will be analyzing real-time data from the East Coast (SECOORA) and West Coast (NANOOS) to compare the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

The ghosts of Halloween are past, but the mystery of these zombie shrimp will help students learn about the effects of invasive species on ecosystems.

Students will have personal experience of increasing pressure, then use MBARI’s Deep Sea Guide to find animals, and put them on a vertical crosscut of the bay.

This short activity allows students to visualize the negative impacts on ocean organisms as the pH of the ocean drops (ocean acidification or OA).

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.

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.

Students will be introduced to an array of marine advocates including scientists, artists, educators and students.

Students will access and interpret near real time marine data of dissolved oxygen to determine if their predictions are supported by real-world evidence.

Students will utilize Pacific Decadal Oscillation data, and Coho and Chinook Salmon data to explore the connection between salmon returns and water temperature.

This is an introductory lesson to familiarize students with how ROVs are built and why ROVs are used.

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.

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.

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.

Using marine mammal stranding data, students will create a model to document the location of strandings on the Oregon coast.

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

Students will be analyzing select GO-BGC float data to find a connection between chlorophyll-a and dissolved oxygen

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 be analyzing the spectrogram of an ocean soundscape and create their own spectrogram with a song of their choice.

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.

This lesson provides students with an opportunity to explore the diversity of microbes in the marine environment.

Students will learn about different phytoplankton and what impacts their distribution by building a water column representing the Southern Ocean.

In this lesson, students will be using the BLAST tool to compare mitochondrial DNA samples from unknown whale species to known sequences.
