Activity #1
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.

What is an acid?An acid is a class of substances with a sour taste, and when
dissolved in water, has a pH of less than 7.0.
Acetic acid + Calcium carbonate Calcium acetate + Carbon dioxide CH3COOH + CaCO3 Ca(C2H3O)2 + CO2
Activity #5
CORAL SAND & VINEGAR
How does acid affect coral and certain microbes?
Key Concept: Coral & certain microbes dissolve in acid.
Where does sand come from?
+
=
Guess this sound!
Hint: It is in the ocean
Answer: Parrot Fish (Uhu) munching on coral
Activity #5
CORAL SAND & VINEGAR
How does acid affect coral and certain microbes?
