In
this
lesson
students
investigate
the
relationship
between
sediment
sampling
and
ocean
pollution
as
they
discover
how
scientists
collect
and
study
sediment
on
the
bottom
of
the
ocean.
They
will
also
find
out
if
the
sediment
sampling
methods
used
by
scientists
can
be
used
to
detect
pollution.
They
will
learn
about
the
proximity
of
the
Hudson
Shelf
Valley
and
the
Hudson
Canyon
to
the
New
York
City

This
essay
with
a
field-journal
focus
describes
an
expedition
that
was
imagined
to
be
a
combination
of
a
day
at
the
beach
and
an
educational
orientation
to
oceanography.
The
author
learned
about
how
a
barrier
island
moves
landward
and
upward
in
space
and
time
and
why
Sandy
Hook,
now
a
barrier
spit,
has
at
times
been
two
or
three
separate
islands
over
the
past
250
years.
There
is
also
a
vivid
and
humorous

In
this
lesson,
students
integrate
history
and
science
while
discovering
how
salinity
affects
the
density
of
water.
Students
should
be
already
familiar
with
the
geography
of
the
Mediterranean
region,
where
water
flows
in
from
the
Atlantic
Ocean
and
Black
Sea.
The
water
level
of
the
Mediterranean
does
not
rise
even
though
there
is
no
apparent
way
for
water
to
exit.
Water
in
the
Mediterranean
has

This
lab
investigates
the
exchange
of
carbon
dioxide
between
the
atmosphere
and
the
ocean's
surface.
It
is
based
on
the
fact
that
carbon
dioxide
dissolves
in
the
ocean
and
provides
the
source
of
that
plants
and
plankton
living
in
the
ocean
rely
on
for
photosynthesis.
Students
will
discover
that
the
amount
of
carbon
dioxide
the
ocean
can
contain
depends
on
the
temperature
of
the
water
and
its
salinity

In
this
activity
students
work
in
teams
to
design
an
underwater
amusement
park
in
the
ocean.
They
will
first
learn
about
John
Pennekamp
Coral
Reef
State
Park
in
Florida,
the
first
underwater
park.
Students
then
consider
the
additional
factors
involving
properties
of
the
ocean
to
consider
in
building
an
amusement
park
and
create
a
model
of
their
