  1. NOAA Learning Ocean Science through Ocean Exploration Curriculum • Doing Inquiry-based Science with Students: • Direct observation • Manipulate variables under natural conditions • Use model systems which can be manipulated in the classroom

  2. Learning Ocean Science through Ocean Exploration of necessity concentrates on using model systems. • Essential that students understand the relationship between the model and the real thing. OE website gives them access to the real thing.

  3. LESSON PLAN 2 Page 16 A WATERED-DOWN TOPOGRAPHIC MAP

  4. 1897 Contoured Map of Monterey "Submerged Valley," Now Called Monterey Canyon

  5. Deploying Side-scan SONAR

  6. Ring of Fire ExpeditionSide-scan SONAR

  7. Multi-beam SONAR

  8. Multi-beam SONAR Swath

  9. NOAA OE Scientists at Sea

  10. Bathymetric contour map of Davidson Seamount, showing the dive tracks for each day.

  11. About 200 miles from Woods Hole, MA, flat-topped Bear Seamount rises approximately 2000 meters from the surrounding ocean floor to a depth of 1100 meters.

  12. Hudson Canyon off New Jersey/Long Island Sound

  13. Astoria Canyon off Washington/Oregon

  14. Alderdice Bank, Gulf of Mexico

  15. Mid-ocean Ridge SystemEarth’s longest mountain range (35,000 miles)2/3 of Earth’s surface formed at mid-ocean ridges

  16. Mid-Atlantic Ridge

  17. Galapagos Rift Spreading Center

  18. What is This?

  22. A Watered-down Topographic Map • Part 1 • Students would use the descriptions to make the geologic features in a MODEL ocean. The geologic features have been pre-built with clay for this workshop in the interests of time. • Part 2 • Read the cards to decide which feature you have. Follow the student worksheet to make a bathymetric contour map your feature. • Read all the instructions BEFORE you start!!

  23. LESSON PLAN 4 Page 25 Mapping Deep-sea Features

  24. Gulf of Alaska Expedition False-color Multibeam Data Over Satellite Imagery

  25. Mapping Deep-sea Features Translate a data table into a false color image map and then into a 3-D model of a seamount 1. Use the Student Handout with depth ranges and the Bathymetric Data Reduction table to make a false color map. 2. Make a 3-D visualization of a seamount or a submarine canyon. Assemble the foam pieces in the same color order from deepest on the bottom to shallowest on top.

  26. Bathymetric Map of Loihi Volcano, Hawaii’s Youngest, Off the Southeastern Coast of the Big Island

  27. Loihi Seamount

  28. Mariana Arc Volcano

  36. LESSON PLAN 9 Page 69 The Galapagos Spreading Center

  37. Hydrothermal Plumes

  38. www.learningdemo.com/noaa/ NOAA Learning Object Lesson 2 Mid-ocean Ridges Use “Explore Mid-Ocean Ridges” as an introductory activity for LP 9. Use last segment of “Lesson” to introduce formation of hydrothermal vents.

  40. Page 85

  41. LP 8, 9 & 11 – Ocean Literacy Essential Principles and Fundamental Concepts EP 1 Earth has one big ocean with many features FC b. Ocean basins features vary due to movement of Earth’s lithospheric plates. EP 2 The ocean shapes Earth’s features FC e. Tectonic activity influences physical structure and landforms.
