PENNY PLOPHow many drops of water

fit on a penny?

Before you start, make a prediction!

Key Concepts: Surface Tension, Scientific Method

Activity #2a

DROWNING ISLAND

Key Concept: Climate change is causing sea level to rise.

2. Put 2 houses (red beads) on your island -- one on the coast and one inland.

1. Make an island out of this clay ball and put in the “ocean”.

3. Use your pipette to squeeze 10 pipettes full of water onto the ocean.

Activity #3

CARTESIAN DIVERS

Key Concept: Density determines whether an object sinks or floats.

Scuba Diving & Pressure

Activity #4

OIL & WATER TUBE

Key Concepts: The different densities of oil and water, along with some microbes, help clean up oil spills.

MARINE MICROBES: WE CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT THEM

• Produce oxygen

• Help moderate the Earth’s climate

• Our planet’s main decomposers

• Base of food web

Our oceans are becoming more acidic.
