Resources Project Overview: While not as endless as the universe, the ocean is huge. As a teacher, you can approach studying the ocean in many different ways: You can explore the geological processes at play in the ocean, as well as the tremendous influence that the ocean exerts on our climate and on life on Earth in general. You can also discuss the different environments within the ocean. Or, you can go back in geological time and talk about how life evolved in the ocean, and what clues the ocean offers to how life might exist on other planets. "Planet Ocean" introduces your students to the concept that 99 percent of all living space on this planet is within the ocean. Students will learn about diverse and complex kinds of animals that live in the ocean and the adaptations they have made to their environment. The animals featured each live in a different part of the ocean: blue whales live in the open ocean; barracudas live in coral reefs; and tubeworms live nearly a mile and a half under the sea in a dark and extreme environment. Finally, students will learn about food chains and the tactics used by predators and prey to stay alive in the watery world. Back to top Online Components:

25. Teaching Ocean Life In Elementary Schools Although this is a science curriculum unit that focuses on ocean life, I have general objectives as well as specific pedagogical objectives. http://mamba.bio.uci.edu/~pjbryant/biodiv/Teachers/OceanLife.htm

Teaching Ocean Life in Elementary Schools Fiorella Rosillo Introduction I teach in the Santa Ana Unified School District, which is 98-99% Latino. I teach a group of twenty first-grade students in a Structured English Immersion (SEI) classroom, which means that the students are considered Limited English Speaking and teachers are allowed, for a small percentage of the time, to use the students' native language for instruction. The students' mastery over the English language varies considerably. Of the students that were born in the United States, some are very limited in English while others are very fluent. Also, we receive many students that have just come from another country and do not speak or understand any English. Since many of our students have an English language deficit, teachers need to focus a large portion of their time on Reading, Writing, and English Language Development (ELD). Currently, much of a student's academic progress is monitored and evaluated by standardized tests. All teachers try to prepare their students as best they can.

Oceanography Space Sciences Blow the Ballast! CyberMail ... Teachers' Corner Ocean Life: Mammals -Adaptation The bottlenose dolphin ( Tursiops ) on the right camouflages with the water (Office of Naval Research photo). Camouflage To blend into their environment, some marine mammals have countershading (their top side is darker that their underneath surfaces). This coloration, typical of many marine mammals, provides camouflage . The result is that predators or prey do not see a contrast between the animal and the environment because the top blends in with dark depths when viewed from above and the light belly blends in with the sunlit surface when seen from below. To the right is a picture of an hourglass dolphin illustrating the general pattern of dark upper dorsal coloration and light ventral (belly) coloration seen in many marine animals. Another example of camouflage is the coloring of the polar bear. The polar bear is white to blend in with its snowy environment. When sneaking up on prey, the polar bear will cover its black nose with its paw to blend in perfectly with its surroundings.

Oceans In Brief : News Ocean Ecosystems Collapsing, Study Finds After extensive research, an independent commission finds that marine life and habitats are in grave danger, and recommends a new approach to ocean conservation. My nearly three years working on the independent Oceans Commission opened my eyes to the disaster unfolding in the oceans. The good news is that, if we act now, we can turn this situation around. But we need to apply the same conservation ethic to America's oceans that we have applied to our lands since the days of Teddy Roosevelt. John Adams, NRDC President and Pew Oceans Commissioner WHAT'S AT STAKE? Here are just a few of the underwater inhabitants who rely on healthy marine ecosystems. LINKS NRDC Ocean Protection Case Studies Keeping Oceans Wild: Marine Reserves Other Sites Pew Oceans Commission Report After decades of human abuse, the world's oceans are in a state of "silent" collapse. That's the chief conclusion of a report to Congress issued in June 2003 by the Pew Oceans Commission, a bipartisan, independent group created to chart a new course for the nation's oceans policy. After a multi-year assessment, the commission concluded that the loss of ocean life reaches far inland, threatening jobs, cultures, ecosystems and more. The commission's report is the first such comprehensive look at all aspects of ocean health in 30 years. Over the course of its rigorous assessment, the commission issued seven reports on various subtopics. This final report, addressed to Congress, assesses the ocean's health from sea bottom to inland estuaries and makes a series of recommendations. At the heart of these recommendations is the need to refocus human activity in the oceans away from constant use and extraction of resources, and toward better stewardship, revitalization and recovery.

Photo: S. Munro John Ernest Williamson (1881-1966) was a pioneer of undersea photography and was active in motion pictures for nearly 50 years. His father, Charles Williamson of Norfolk, Virginia, was a sea captain who had invented a tube, which, when suspended from a specially outfitted ship, facilitated communication and airflow down to depths of 250 feet. In 1912, Williamson realized that his father's invention could be adapted for undersea photography. Artificially illuminated photographs of the depths of Chesapeake Bay taken in 1913 produced such captivating results that Williamson was inspired to attempt motion pictures. Photo: S. Munro To facilitate the tube's new purpose, he designed a special attachment: an observation chamber with a large funnel-shaped compartment, fronted by a large, thick glass window 5 feet in diameter. He called this device the "Williamson Photosphere." With this new equipment, Williamson and his brother George set out for The Bahamas, where the sunlight can penetrate 150 feet deep in clear water, greatly enhancing photographic possibilities. In March 1914, near Nassau, Williamson shot the first-ever underwater motion pictures. His first feature was known as the "Williamson Submarine Expedition" and was ingeniously called Thirty Leagues under the Sea . Released in 1914, the film demonstrated how the Bahamians depended on the ocean's ecosystem to support their own. His equipment made possible the shooting of the first undersea fiction movie, the 1916 film version of Jules Verne's

In order to survive in this sunless world, 90 percent of all deep-sea animals living below 700 meters (2,300 feet) have the ability to generate their own light. Without this light, known as bioluminescence , these denizens of the dark would probably be unable to find food or mates. Using light for a variety of purposes, the animals of the deep create a dazzling light show that resembles a starry night sky. Bioluminescence: Light From Within Bioluminescence is light created by living things Cold Fire Bioluminescent light is produced by chemical reactions that occur inside living things. The precise chemicals involved vary, but in general, bioluminescence requires a light-producing molecule, or luciferin, and an enzyme, luciferase. The luciferase attaches an oxygen molecule to luciferin, creating a new molecule in an excited state. When this molecule returns to a lower energy level, it releases energy in the form of light Some animals create their own luciferin and luciferase, while others rely on bacteria that live inside their light-producing organs, or photophores. The glowing photophores of this dragonfish ( Melanostomias bartonbeani The Deep Blue Sea Though bioluminescent lights occur in a variety of colors, most are blue, because
