4th – 8th Grade Virtual Learning
Overview
Watershed
Stations:
- Watershed Model & Groundwater System
- Dana Point Harbor Water Chemistry
- Engineering an Aquifer
Description:
Join us for our LIVE Watershed Virtual Field Trip. During this program students will see how water travels above ground and below ground through different sediments while talking about permeability and porosity. After, we will test the water in Dana Point Harbor and discuss what can change water chemistry and if your harbor is healthy. Lastly, we will build an aquifer model using different sediments like clay, rocks, and sand. Our challenge is to see how much ground water it can hold. At the end we will have time for the students to ask an Ocean Institute team member questions!
Living Systems
Stations:
- Fish Dissection
- Oceanic food chain
- Jelly Life Cycle
Description:
Join us for our LIVE Living Systems Virtual Field Trip. What is a System? Join us to learn about the various living systems in the ocean. We will start by learning about the Jelly life cycle. Here at the Ocean Institute we grow our own moon jellies from larval to adults. We will go through the different life stages and the importance of each one. Next, students will observe the anatomy of a Pacific Mackerel during a dissection and discuss the different systems that make up the internal anatomy. Lastly, with our knowledge about moon jellies and living systems we will build a food chain from top to bottom and discuss the importance of the different trophic levels. At the end we will have time for the students to ask an Ocean Institute team member questions!
