Youth will learn about invertebrates and what phyla they are in through an invertebrate classification game.

Youth will learn about the different types of life in a coral reef by creating their own coral reef model.

Youth will learn about what bioluminescence is and how deep-sea creatures use it.

Youth discover how sharks float by making their own floating shark models.

Students will simulate ocean currents and the thermocline by learning about temperature differences and their densities.

Students will test salinity in a variety of experiments to understand the effects of salt in bodies of water.

Students will test the conductive properties of salt water through an experiment using a battery, light bulb and increasing concentrations of salt water.

Students will experiment with high tides and low tides by creating their own ocean and landscape.

By simulating ocean movements and motions with waves, students will recreate the motion of the ocean and the role of wind on our coasts.

Students discover how sharks float by making their own floating shark models.

The activity will demonstrate the way sharks use their ampullae of Lorenzini to detect magnetic and electric fields to determine their location and orientation in the water.

Students will match shark species to their most common habitats, and learn about their movement patterns across the globe.

Youth will explore the diversity of animal observations with Inaturalist and use this to create keys that will help identify organisms to different groups.
