Students practice the proper lab techniques of coring, seining, taking temperatures, and salinity. Students analyze and graph data. Students write a 3 part essay and correctly draw and label a food web of their field site.

Learn about estuary ecosystems. Find out about plants, animals, adaptations, and conservation efforts.

This activity introduces students to the complex chemistry of estuarine water. Students investigate how chemical and physical water quality factors-pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and salinity-change and interact over varying time...

In this activity, students investigate a large watershed, look for sources of pollution in the watershed, and study the impacts of a rain storm on a watershed and estuary, without going on a field trip. Students investigate the nature of...
