Data:
Analysis: What are you simulating by mixing the salt and water? What happens to the golf ball once the salt and water are mixed? What are you simulating with the tap water? What happens to the golf ball when the tap water is added to the salt water? An estuary is a region where salt water and fresh water meet. When the food coloring is added, this “region” is highlighted. What special qualities would the aquatic life in an estuary need to possess?  Station 2
Nutrients, Coming Right Up! Sketch of Dishes: Experimental Dish Control Dish Data:
Analysis: What happens to the cold water after it is dispensed into the dishes? What happens to the colored water after you blow across the top? What happens to cold water from the deep when surface winds blow the water away? How is this demonstration like upwelling? Why is this process important for the marine food web? Station 3
There are Algae in Your House! Hypothesis: What food items do you think have seaweed as an ingredient? Data:
Analysis: Which foods contained more that one type of algae derivative? Algae serves as a thickening agent in foods. Why is it a necessary ingredient for the foods listed? Station 4
Web of Life Data: Draw your sketch of a marine food web below:
Analysis: Which organisms are the producers of the marine food web? Which organisms are the consumers of the marine food web? Where are the nutrients that are needed in a marine food web? What would happen in the web if one or more organisms were no longer available? How would humans fit into the marine food web? Station 5
Creatures of the Dark Ocean Data:
Analysis: Which fish is camouflaged in the shoe box? Why are you unable to see this fish? What happened when you looked at the fish that was not camouflaged? Bioluminescence is light given off by some creatures of the deep. The hatchetfish is an example of a fish that has photophores (small specialized light organs). These photophores act as camouflage in water depths that has some sunlight. It is necessary for the black silhouette of the hatchetfish to blend into the background of scattered light. How does this activity simulate this idea?
