Lesson Titlesort descending Lesson Summary Subject Grade Level
Nature's Notebook In this lesson students will conduct a field investigation on the Douglas fir and apply the scientific process. Biology, Ecology Elementary (4-5)
Nitrogen Cycle Game Students in this lesson will learn about the nitrogen cycle by participating in the nitrogen cycle game. Biology, Climate Change High School (9-12)
Ocean Acidification Car In this lesson students find out how the burning of fossil fuels in automobiles can introduce CO2 to seawater causing acidification. Biology, Climate Change, Ecology, Marine Elementary (4-5)
Ocean Acidification: Building Blocks of the Sea Students in this lesson will learn about the importance of how human activities influence the chemistry and thus the health of the ocean ecosystems and organisms. Biology, Chemistry, Climate Change, Marine Elementary (4-5), Middle School (6-8)
Ocean Acidification: Impacts of Carbonated Seawater on Mussel and Oyster Shells Students in this lesson will focus on understanding the impacts of acidified seawater on mussels and oyster shells. Biology, Chemistry, Climate Change, Marine Elementary (4-5), Middle School (6-8)
Ocean Acidification: pH and The Ocean's Balance Students in this lesson will learn to about ocean acidification through the pH scale, and how a small shift in the pH scale represents a much larger shift in the chemical balance. Biology, Chemistry, Climate Change, Marine Elementary (4-5), Middle School (6-8)
Oregon Seagrass Beds In this lesson students learn about surveying seagrass beds in localities along Oregon’s coast. Biology, Ecology Middle School (6-8), High School (9-12)
Our Changing Oceans Students in the lesson learn about our changing oceans, the global carbon cycle, and microorganism’s role in the rise of atmospheric oxygen. Biology, Climate Change, Ecology, Marine Elementary (4-5), Middle School (6-8), High School (9-12)
Owl Pellets Part I In this lesson student will gain an understanding of owls as predators, their eating habits, and the pellets they produce. Students will examine owl pellets to draw conclusions about eating patterns. Biology, Ecology Elementary (4-5)
Owl Pellets Part II In this lesson students learn about owl pellets, compare the bines fund in the investigation charts, and determine what and how many prey items were eaten by their owl. Biology, Ecology Elementary (4-5)
