This resource ties together physical and biological aspects of ocean color for high school students. Specific sections discuss life in the oceans, the appearance of the ocean from space, phytoplankton (the little link in a big food chain), carbon (where does it go?), and the Earth as a giant greenhouse. There are also activities that accompany these lessons.

as
well
as
surface
currents,
deep
ocean
circulation
and
even

Students
in
this
lesson
will
be
introduced
to
the
concept
of
tides
and
tidal
forces.
By
viewing
a
related
applet
which
visualizes
the
relationship
between
the
Earth,
moon
and
tides,
students
will
gain
an
understanding
of
why
the
Earth
experiences
tides.
In
the
process
they
are
asked
to
observe
and
explain
how
the
relative
positions
of
Earth,
the
moon,
and
the
sun
are
responsible
for
the
moon
phases,

Estuaries
have
physical
traits,
and
scientists
use
a
variety
of
measurements
such
as
water
depth,
salinity,
and
current
speed
to
describe
an
estuary.
This
site
describes
the
various
measurements
that
make
up
the
physical
properties
of
an
estuary,
using
Narragansett
Bay
as
an
example.
Specific
sections
of
this

focus
on
water
chemistry
(temperature,

When
different
kinds
of
oil
enter
the
sea,
many
physical,
chemical
and
biological
degradation
processes
start
acting
on
them.
This

describes
the
factors
that
decide
the
physical,
chemical
and
biological
degradation
of
the
oil,
as
well
as
potential
environmental
damage,
effects
on
wildlife,
and
effects
on
