Name | Description |
Lesson 1: Introduction to Oceanography & Remote Sensing | This lesson covers: •How the ocean moves and why it is important to all life on Earth •Different geologic features in the ocean and how they impact currents •How the Earth and ocean are studied by satellites and remote sensing •How to use a web based program to interpret real world satellite data |
Making of the Ocean Floor | This is a 5-E lesson exploring the ocean floor features and how each feature formed. The objective is to explain that the ocean floor is dynamic and has changed over the years. It involves the understanding that tectonic plates impact the oceanic plates and continental plates. It also address the other processes that change the ocean floor. It includes the use of technology, Google Earth, hands-on inquiry, and guided research. |
Formation of Oceanic Features | This is a picture inquiry based lesson for students to explore four specific oceanic features (mid-ocean ridge, trench, seamount, and continental shelf). Groups of three students will observe and explain features found in pictures and share ideas with their peers. |
