Principle_5_9-12, Ocean Sunfish dies feasted on by whole communities of scary creatures hundreds or thousands of feet down for years., #5 The ocean supports a great diversity of life and ecosystems Grades 9-12 has major concepts A broad diversity of life evolved in the ocean and the broadest diversity of life still exists there., It is often hard to see very far in the ocean. We call this a sight-limited environment. Because of this, animals have evolved to use sound in different ways. For example Lots of toothed whales use sonar (like bats at night, and jets in the fog) to see their way around and find their food., Consumers are consumed by other consumers along different paths. examples phytoplankton, Jelly fish (not fish by the way) eaten by Sea turtles, #5 The ocean supports a great diversity of life and ecosystems Grades 9-12 has major concepts The ocean offers a vast living space along with diverse and unique habitats that promote biodiversity, Right Whales dies ???? who else eats dead things, Ocean Biology provides many unique examples of life cycles, adaptations & important relationships among organisms that do not occur on land. Contains topics There's no such thing as a food chain. Instead food flows in complex webs in an endless cycle. Not only is the system a cycle but each population (species) is following their own life cycles., Energy enters the system by primary producers turning the sun's rays, or the energy from deep ocean vents, into themselves. They use this energy to reproduce and grow. Two types Photosynthesis: It is appropriate to use phytoplanktion to teach the process of photosynthesis, then compare it to what happens in terrestrial plants. This way students learn photosynthesis process which is a standard at level but they also learn that more O2 comes from the ocean than land, and that those primary producers in the ocean are plankton or algae, not plants., Primary producers use energy to create matter. That matter is then transferred to consumers when they eat the photosynthetic bacteria and algae What happens to that energy and matter? Death, leads to ocean snow, and carcases at the bottom of the sea. Poop also falls to the bottom and gets consumed.
