This website features a suite of lessons, activities and data sets all focused on various scientific aspects of the Great Lakes. Throughout the website, you will find usable data sets, an overview of teaching methods, and ready-to-go lessons and activities. Any of these resources may be easily incorporated into formal and informal educational settings and many are multidisciplinary.
Bridge DATA - Diatomaceous Sediments: Ooze Clues
Just as ocean beaches display a variety of sand types, the ocean floor has different sediment types. Sediments can come from land, living organisms, chemical reactions in the water column, and even outer space. When skeletal remains of microscopic organisms make up more than 30% of the sediment, it is called "ooze." In this activity, students will plot the distribution of various oozes using information from sediment maps.
The Bridge's own DATA Series is made up of lesson plans (DATA Tips) on many ocean science topics that explore the world of water using the language of science: mathematics. Learn more about the DATA Series.
Join the ocean education conversation! Scuttlebutt is the national email discussion list for educators and scientists interested in talking informally about ocean education ideas, issues and questions.
All educators and scientists interested in marine science education are invited to subscribe. The Bridge staff monitors list activity and often is able to assist in locating expertise to answer questions that teachers post to the list, as needed. The list does not provide research services for students' assignments.
Scuttlebutt carries messages related to marine education that should be of professional interest to many marine educators nationwide. Petitions, political commentary or advocacy, resumes or job requests, requests for donations or votes, crowdsourcing, cross postings and commercial messages are not accepted. Please restrict attachments to a total size of 500kb or less.
