Grade 3 Unit 2 Overview Open Ocean Habitats Introduction
G3 U2 OVR GRADE 3 UNIT 2 OVERVIEW Open Ocean Habitats Introduction The open ocean has always played a vital role in the culture, subsistence, and economic well-being of Hawai‘i’s inhabitants. The Hawaiian Islands lie in the Pacifi c Ocean, a body of water covering more than one-third of the Earth’s surface. In the following four lessons, students learn about open ocean habitats, from the ocean’s lighter surface to the darker bottom fl oor thousands of feet below the surface. Although organisms are scarce in the deep sea, there is a large diversity of organisms in addition to bottom fi sh such as polycheate worms, crustaceans, and bivalve mollusks. They come to realize that few things in the open ocean have adapted to cope with the increased pressure from the weight of the water column at that depth, in complete darkness and frigid temperatures. Students fi nd out, through instruction, presentations, and website research, that the vast open ocean is divided into zones. The pelagic zone consists of the open ocean habitat that begins at the edge of the continental shelf and extends from the surface to the ocean bottom. This zone is further sub-divided into the photic (sunlight) and disphotic (twilight) zones where most ocean organisms live. Below these two sub-zones is the aphotic (darkness) zone. In this unit, students learn about each of the ocean zones, and identify and note animals living in each zone. They also research and keep records of the evolutionary physical features and functions that animals they study have acquired to survive in harsh open ocean habitats. -

MARINE ENVIRONMENTS Teaching Module for Grades 6-12
MARINE ENVIRONMENTS Teaching Module for Grades 6-12 Dear Educator, We are pleased to present you with the first in a series of teaching and learning modules developed by the DEEPEND (Deep-Pelagic Nekton Dynamics) consortium and their consultants. DEEPEND is a research network focusing primarily on the pelagic zone of the Gulf of Mexico, therefore the majority of the lessons will be based around this topic. Whenever possible, the lessons will focus specifically on events of the Gulf of Mexico or work from the DEEPEND scientists. All modules in this series aim to engage students in grades 6 through 12 in STEM disciplines, while promoting student learning of the marine environment. We hope these lessons enable teachers to address student misconceptions and apprehensions regarding the unique organisms and properties of marine ecosystems. We intend for these modules to be a guide for teaching. Teachers are welcome to use the lessons in any order they wish, use just portions of lessons, and may modify the lessons as they wish. Furthermore, educators may share these lessons with other school districts and teachers; however, please do not receive monetary gain for lessons in any of the modules. Moreover, please provide credit to photographers and authors whenever possible. This first module focuses on the marine environment in general including biological, chemical, and physical properties of the water column. We have provided a variety of activities and extensions within this module such that lessons can easily be adapted for various grade and proficiency levels. Given that education reform strives to incorporate authentic science experiences, many of these lessons encourage exploration and experimentation to encourage students to think and act like a scientist. -
