| I would like to come into the classroom and present the following concept/activity: |
1.biology of hydrothermal vents - colonization, succession, larval migration
2. biology of seamount coral ecosystems - diversity, endemic species, susceptibility to disturbance
either presentation can include information about sampling methods (submersible, remotely operated vehicles (ROV's), autonomous sampling)
3. doing science at sea |
| |
| I can present this at a level appropriate for (choose one or more): |
| Grades 3-5 (ages 8-11) |
| |
| I would categorize this science as (choose one or more): |
Biology
Technology and Engineering |
| |
| relevant "learning standards" or "broad concepts": |
| 7. Give examples of how changes in the environment (drought, cold) have caused some plants and animals to die or move to new locations (migration). |
| |
| How much classroom time will your presentation/activity require?: |
