This MGM unit on the diversity of marine plants is divided into 12sections. The first section introduces the unit by providing objectives and activities on why people classify things and on the use of a taxonomic key. The next 11 sections focus on: photosynethesis; algae; green algae; brown algae; red algae; golden brown algae; dinoflagellates; blue-green algae; marine bacteria; sea grasSes; and salt marshes. Each 'section includes a statement of the concept(s) to be learned, objectives, text material, and one or more science-aryd/or vocabulary activities. Objectives, procedures, apd a list of matersial.sneeded are provided for the science activitieswhich focds on: plant pigments; photosynthesis and'light; the role ofcarbon dioxide and oxygen in photosynthesis; diatbms;,and the kinds of alga& found 'around 'the coast of the pnited. States. Additional activities include constructing a plankton net, pressingalgae,identifying algae, staining bacteria, collecting and culturing marine bacteria, and taking a salt marsh field trip.
