Activity #1 PENNY PLOP Surface TensionWhat causes water to form a dome? http://static.zooomr.com/images/3807652_fd4f4001e5.jpg http://quest.nasa.gov/space/teachers/microgravity/image/66.gif http://www.space-matters.info/img/waterstrider.jpg http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/juice/bellyflop.jpg,
Activity #1 PENNY PLOP How many drops of water fit on a penny? Before you start, make a prediction! Key Concepts: Surface Tension, Scientific Method
Activity #2aDROWNING ISLAND Key Concept: Climate change is causing sea level to rise.
1. Make an island out of this clay ball and put in the “ocean”. 2. Put 2 houses (red beads) on your island -- one on the coast and one inland. 3. Use your pipette to squeeze 10 pipettes full of water onto the ocean.
Activity #3CARTESIAN DIVERS Key Concept: Density determines whether an object sinks or floats.
Activity #4OIL & WATER TUBE Key Concepts: The different densities of oil and water, along with some microbes, help clean up oil spills.
MARINE MICROBES: WE CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT THEM • Produce oxygen • Help moderate the Earth’s climate • Our planet’s main decomposers • Base of food web
Our oceans are becoming more acidic. Red: CO2 is increasing in the atmosphereBlue: CO2 is increasing in the ocean http://hahana.soest.hawaii.edu/hot/
Our oceans are becoming more acidic. http://hahana.soest.hawaii.edu/hot/
What is an acid? An acid is a class of substances with a sour taste, and when dissolved in water, has a pH of less than 7.0. Acetic acid + Calcium carbonate Calcium acetate + Carbon dioxide CH3COOH + CaCO3 Ca(C2H3O)2 + CO2
Activity #5 CORAL SAND & VINEGAR How does acid affect coral and certain microbes? Key Concept: Coral & certain microbes dissolve in acid.
Guess this sound! Hint: It is in the ocean
Answer: Parrot Fish (Uhu) munching on coral
Activity #5 CORAL SAND & VINEGAR How does acid affect coral and certain microbes? Key Concept: Coral & certain microbes dissolve in acid.
Activity # 6a WHAT MICROBE ARE YOU? Images: http://microscope.mbl.edu Key Concept: There are many different kinds of microbes. Most of them are good for us. Discover your microbe personality! In each pair of statements, choose the one that best describes you.
Activity # 6bMAKE A MICROBE that sinks slowly and is protected Images: http://microscope.mbl.edu Key Concept: Microbes use diverse strategies to protect themselves and avoid sinking.
Activity # 2bDROWNING ISLAND What Happened to Your Island? Key Concept: Climate change is causing sea level to rise.
