In
this
lesson,
students
will
play
the
role
of
a
member
of
an
International
Team
of
Marine
Biologists
tasked
with
predicting
and
monitoring
possible
harmful
algae
blooms.
They
will
evaluate
changes
in
the
ocean's
chlorophyll
counts
from
1997-2007
using
data
sets
from
MyNASAData
website,
draw
conclusions
about
how
the
chlorophyll-a
levels
in
the
ocean
may
effect
its
ecological
characteristics
and
infer

Phytoplankton,
microscopic
floating
plant-like
marine
organisms
(plankton
means
wanderer)
are
at
the
bottom
of
the
marine
food
chain.
They
perform
photosynthesis
using
water,
carbon
dioxide,
and
sunlight
to
produce
glucose
for
their
own
use,
as
well
as
oxygen.
Humans
and
all
land
animals
and
sea
creatures
are
dependent
on
phytoplankton.
The
chlorophyll
in
phytoplankton
can
be
observed
by
remote
sensing
