Teaching Materials
Positives
- The lab overviews section identifies all of the materials you'll need to gather and provides a summary of the labs.
- There are many topics in these labs that will be new for students to learn about.
Prerequisites
- Review teacher resources for general background information relevant to each lab and materials that you may need to gather.
- Most labs require access to the Internet.
Differentiation & Implementation
- Science classes can connect one or more of these labs to eutrophication, dead zones, and nutrient cycling.
- Social studies classes can discuss the ethics of fishing a species to extinction or causing populations to crash and think critically about how humans have been able to affect global populations and global systems in a very short period of time.
- Have students brainstorm ways to reduce overfishing, pollution from fish farms, and protect marine ecosystems.
