O’Neill Sea Odyssey • We learned many things while sailing on the O’Neill Sea Odyssey.
O’Neill Sea Odyssey • Ecology Lesson: Kelp, ecosystems
O’Neill Sea Odyssey • Navigation Lesson: talk about the radar, GPS, maps, charts, learning how to use the compass, etc.
O’Neill Sea Odyssey • Plankton net: Talk about how you collected samples of plankton. What equipment did you use? • What did the naturalist talk to you about?
O’Neill Sea Odyssey • Back on shore in the lab: Talk about the watershed lesson (sprinkling different substances to represent various pollutants). Then you sprayed water on the land. What happened? Where did the water flow to?
O’Neill Sea Odyssey • Plankton: Examining the water samples you collected. Talk about the two drops of water, what you observed, etc. • In every drop of water since 1996, they have found plastic! The blue string-looking pieces are plastic. • Talk about phytoplankton, the red tide, how the water color changes, etc. • In spring and summer the water looks GREEN because the ocean “blooms”. In winter the water is a blue-green. Nature’s warning signs: RED. If there are a lot of dioflagulates, that is BAD!
O’Neill Sea Odyssey • Navigation Lab: Talk about using the parallel rulers, mapping out our course, what the different numbers mean (FATHOMS), HS means hard sandy bottom, etc.
