Marine science experiments
(Book)

A multi-volume set of experiments that allows students to become actively involved in science, develop independent thinking, and expand their own base of scientific knowledge. The experiments promote multiple science-process skills, such as observing, measuring, classifying, analyzing, and predicting. Each volume contains 20 new and tested experiments that include an introduction to the topc, relevant and specific safety tips, a list of materials, procedural guidelines and protocols, analysis questions, connections to real life, and an annotated further reading section for extended research. In addition, some experiments require students to practice inquiry-based science by setting up and carrying out their own open-ended experiments.

Includes a glossary, websites and index.

Includes further reading and websites throughout subject areas.

Keyed to the requirements of middle and high school curricula, the experiments explore the following: Bioaccumulation -- Chemistry of water -- External reproduction -- Fish adaptations -- Habitat preferences of fish -- Impact of humans on the sea environment -- Linnean system of classification -- Marine plankton -- Movement of water currents -- Role of light on undersea life -- Structure and composition of the seafloor.
