  1. Welcome to Mr. Burke’s Marine Biology Program

  2. How does Marine Science Impact you? 70% of the Earth is covered in water. More than half of the Oxygen you breathe Is produced in the ocean. Amniotic Fluid has the same salinity As seawater. If you like Ice Cream….you most likely Ate it with some Seaweed You may have brushed your teeth with marine skeletons this morning Life on an Ocean Planet Chapter 1 Page 1-3

  3. How do we Impact it? • The oceans produce two influences vital to life on Earth. • Weather and world climate patterns dictate how warm, cold, wet, or dry it will be. This largely determines where humans live on land. • In addition, the oceans provide three important marine resources: Food • Oxygen • Natural Resources (such as oil) • Humans have seen all of the Earth’s surface, but there’s far more to discover below than on it. • Humans increasingly change the oceans; pollutionand overfishing have caused serious damage, coralreefs are dying off, and there’s more. • What you learn here about the science of investigationand problem-solving, regardless of your final careerchoice, benefits you by making you a more capableperson who contributes to society. Life on an Ocean Planet Chapter 1 Pages 1-3 to 1-5

  4. Marine Science • Marine Science – the process of discovering the facts,processes, and unifying principles that explain thenature of the oceans and their associated life forms. • Oceanography– the science of recording anddescribing the ocean’s contents and processes. • There are four main branches of oceanography. • Biological oceanography – studies life in the ocean. • Chemical oceanography – studies the chemistry of seawater. • Geological oceanography – studies the geology of the ocean. • Physical oceanography – studies the physics within themarine environment. • Technology has made marine exploration andits associated careers possible. It is throughtechnology that true marine exploration hasbecome possible. Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 1-8 to 1-10

  5. OK so its really Oceanography?? • How will we study it? • Marine science involves four study areas beyond traditional science disciplines: • 1. Science as Inquiry – applying science as a way of solving problems, answering questions. • 2. Science and Technology – learning how science advances technology and vice-versa. • 3. Science in Personal and Social Perspectives – how science affects you and society. • 4. Historical Nature of Science – understanding how science evolved as a discipline. Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 1-11 to 1-14

  6. I thought this was Marine Science? • This course will include cross discipline content….integrating with many other disciplines • Cross-discipline areas of study include: • Math - Mathematics is the universal “language” that helps you explainthe physical nature of the oceans. • History – A historical review provides insight to the past, present, andfuture of our oceans. A historical background provides a context of howand why the study of oceanography has changed over time. • Technology - Some say technology causes problems, some say itincreases our knowledge. It is really the advances in technology thathas made modern oceanography possible. • Social Sciences - Decisions about the environment may affect thelife of others on the planet. • Literature - Announcing scientific findings to others requires usingliterary and artistic forms. • Arts - The method of experimentation may be in the form of videographyor ethnography rather than the typical experiment. Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 1-15 & 1-16

  7. Course Objectives • MY goals as a teacher • Make this course interesting • Hold you accountable and self reliant as a student • Increase your literacy in science • Help you Enjoy Science as a subject • Make you aware of the fragile nature of the Ocean • Make you aware of Human dependence on the Ocean • Make you aware of Careers related to this expanding field

  8. How can I hope to do this? • R…..O…….V’s • Field Trips • Video which are directly related to the material • Response cards • Fish Tanks • Fish as Food Fest • Availability of Notes and Grades • Joke of the day

  9. The Division of our Textbook and Course • Our Textbook Life on an Ocean Planet will divide marine science into meaningful segments. These units are: • Unit 1: Importance of Ocean Exploration • Unit 2: The Foundation of Life in the Ocean • Unit 3: A Water World • Unit 4: The Motion of the Ocean • Unit 5: Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea • Unit 6: The Present and Future of the Marine Environment How to Learn Marine Science Most Efficiently Chapter 1 Pages 1-34 to 1-36

  10. How to use your textbook to Focus Study • Headings (black) and subheadings (blue) divide each chapter. Paying attention to these helps to organize the materials. • Learning Objectives are green: found under subheadings. IMPORTANT: as you read, find the answers to each of the learning objective questions. • Relevant supplement information: found in the purple-boxed sidebars. • Photos and illustrations are red. These provide important visual information to illustrate what you’re reading. • Quick Quiz is found at the end of a main subject division. IMPORTANT: Review the materials until you understand any questions missed before moving on. • Review questions are found at the end of each chapter. How to Learn Marine Science Most Effectively Chapter 1 Pages 1-35 & 1-36

  11. Learning Effectively with Life on an Ocean Planet • The first thing to do is survey this book. You do this by: • First, read the table of contents; note chapter titles and subheadings. • Next, go through from cover to cover. Pay attention to style and how it’s laid out. Look for the pattern in identifying elements; the marine scientist profiles, quizzes, and reviews. Skim the glossary, index, and references. • Surveying before reading makes learning more efficient and effective. It does this by establishing your mental framework about marine science. • After surveying the bookthere are five study steps tofollow as you learn. How to Learn Marine Science Most Efficiently Chapter 1 Pages 1-36 to 1-38

  12. Our Course Overview • First and Second Quarter • Oceanography • History of Marine Science • Tools of Oceanography • Ocean Topography • Water • Waves, Tides and Tsunamis

  13. Course Overview • Second and Third Quarter • Marine Biology • Organisms in the Ocean – through the phylums • Focus on popular species such as Sharks and Marine Mammals • Relationships in the Ocean • Ocean Habitats • Human Impact on the Ocean
