Welcome to the ship, your home for the next two weeks! You and your team have been chosen by the principal of your school to participate in a two week trip aboard a ship in the Atlantic Ocean. Your task is to learn why the oceans are important to us and how they should be included in the science curriculum at your school. Your school is far from the ocean. The principal has give you three tasks. First, learn about the ocean and find out how it affects your life. Second, convince the teachers at your school that teaching about the ocean either is or is not important! Third, share with the teachers big ideas that you learned about the ocean that they could teach in class.
Big Idea:
The Oceans are complex systems that interact with Earth’s land, air, and organisms, to serve as a vital resource for planet earth and humans.
You will answer these questions while on the ship by making observations, reading articles, and doing activities.
o What are the oceans like?
o How does ocean water move?
o What are the tides?
o What are some ocean ecosystems?
o How do humans affect the ocean?
