MS Module 1 : Introduction to Marine Science
Lesson 1 : What is Marine Science?Standards: SC.912.N.2.1, SC.912.N.2.5
Objectives: (1) Understand that Marine Science is a broad field that covers the link between oceanography and marine biology; (2) Describe the many various sub-fields that marine scientist study including marine geology, chemical oceanography, physical oceanography, marine biology, biological oceanography, etc. Essential Question: What do marine scientists study? Vocabulary: marine, marine science, marine biology, oceanography, chemical oceanography, physical oceanography, geological oceanography, biological oceanography Assigned Reading: Castro Marine Biology pp. 1-2 Assignments: 1-1 Cornell Notes; What is Marine Science Asmt (Intro, GP & IP) |
Lesson 2 : The History of Marine ScienceStandards: MA.912.S.1.2, MA.912.S.3.2, SC.912.N.1.2, SC.912.N.1.6, SC.912.N.1.7, SC.912.N.2.4, SC.912.N.2.5
Objectives: (1) Understand that humans have a long history of interaction with the oceans. (2) Construct timeline of major discoveries in marine science from BCE through present.; (3) Plot and analyze data on a marine map. (4) Summarize a marine discovery and how science was utilized in that discovery. Essential Question: How has the development of technology impacted our interactions and study of the ocean? Vocabulary: navigation, expedition, scientific inquiry, quantitative, qualitative Assigned Reading: Castro Marine Biology pp. 2-7 Assignments: 1-2 Cornell Notes; The History of Marine Science Asmt (Intro, GP & IP); Ocean Timeline (Instructions); Ocean Timeline (Handouts); Ocean Map (Instructions); Ocean Map (Handout) |
