Ideas

> **Important: DO NOT move books, etc. around on lab tables once activity begins!**
 * Inquiry with Seafloor Mapping and Motion Sensors (How do you get it to do live readings?)
 * Form into a total of 6 groups
 * Experiment with motion sensors with your group
 * Discuss how you could use sensor to generate a contour map of your table top (assuming the sea surface is 0.5 m above the table surface):
 * 1) You do not need to use the whole map, but amount you use will determine resolution (detail)
 * 2) How could you divide the lab table up into measurable sectors?
 * 3) How will you measure from a steady height of 0.5 m?
 * 4) What kind of contour interval will you use, and how will it correspond to color
 * ASSIGNMENT 10: Marine Animal Concept Map: After completing the concept map, upload the file here. NOTE: It won't be a picture of the map. It will simply look like this: [[image:http://www.wikispaces.com/i/mime/32/application/octet-stream.png width="32" height="32"]] Marine Bio Concept Puzzle.isf


 * ASSIGNMENT 9: Whales. Research the Internet and select a whale species. Put a picture of the whale on your wiki. Describe whether your whale is a baleen or toothed whale (how it feeds). Also describe what it feeds upon and any other interesting or unique info about it. **10 points total**


 * Summary here......**


 * ASSIGNMENT 8: Mapping the Unknown Sea floor. During this activity, we simulated the process of using echo sounding to map out an unknown sea floor region.




 * ASSIGNMENT 7: Hydrothermal Vents: Search the Internet for 2 images (1 of a hydrothermal vent itself and 1 including an organism that lives in or around hydrothermal vents.) Label the image and type no less than 5 sentences describing what goes on at hydrothermal vents. (This may include what they are, how they form, how the animals live in such a harsh environment, etc.) **Each image is worth 5 points and the summary is worth 10 points.**

 * ASSIGNMENT 6: Tectonic Plates on Google Earth: After you mark the location of earthquakes and volcanoes on the map given to you by your teacher, take a screenshot of your map on Google earth and post it as a new assignment on your wiki.


 * ASSIGNMENT 5: [|Building Pangaea Gizmo] Save this file as your last name, answer all questions and paste all snapshots within this doc as you complete the "Building Pangaea Gizmo." When done, post the doc as a new assignment on YOUR WIKI.


 * ASSIGNMENT 4: History of Oceanography Inspiration Timeline [[image:http://www.wikispaces.com/i/mime/32/application/octet-stream.png width="32" height="32"]] History of Oceans Timeline.isf

Description: Go to the class wiki under "student pages ", find your lab group picture, copy and paste it under the heading "ASSIGNMENT 3: Water Salinity and Density Lab Conclusions" within YOUR OWN wiki. In NO LESS THAN 5 semtences, briefly explain what you did during the lab and what the outcome was.
 * ASSIGNMENT 3: Water Salinity and Density Lab Conclusions

Description: Go to your wiki and explain the class data results from the freezing ocean water experiment. Include the title of the assignment: "Assignment 2: Freezing Ocean Water Lab Conclusions." Explain the outcome of the lab. Explain any other important info discovered during the experiment. State any new questions and future experiments that may be conducted.
 * ASSIGNMENT 2: Freezing Ocean Water Lab Conclusions

Description: Go to student pages, find your semester and period, and add a new page for yourself. Now set it up like my example page. Include an introduction, picture of yourself, and a section at the bottom for your projects/assignments.
