Transcription

1 Ocean Odyssey 2015 From coastal tide pools to the ocean deep, dive into an underwater world where fish swim with whales, crabs, sea turtles, otters, and other amazing deep sea creatures. Monday Oceans all around us, the wonders of waves, tidal rhythms, salt water Discover the major oceans of the world and how much water is in the ocean How Tidal games and centrifugal force science investigation How waves work make a wave and wave vs wind science Life in salt water with amazing salt water experiments Tuesday Phyto and Zooplankton and tide pool invertebrates Discover tidal mollusks Phytoplankton vs Zooplankton invent phytoplankton to live in water Catch plankton at stream Make a zooplankton 4 key tide zone animal groups Crustacean, Mollusk, Cnidarians, echinoderms Wednesday From tides to deep sea fish. 3 groups of fish Jawless-Lampreys Cartilage- Sharks Bone- Fish Scales, fins, Fish dissection Deep sea glowing fish Thursday Get close up with tide pool life at Yaquina Head. Friday Food Chains and webs: How is all marine life is connected Whales from Baleen to toothed who is the biggest Orca whale food chains Sea turtle food chains Otter food chains Ocean migration What can we do to help the oceans provide healthy habitats? For students who continue the following week we will learn more about Ocean mammals like whales and otters as we start our journey through the different mammal families Have not done edits to full camp outline below Journal pages:

2 1) Title 2) Map of the Ocean, names of the ocean. 3) How tides Work 4) High tide or low tide 5) Draw the path of Gray Whale Migration 6) gray whale Facts 7) Tidal Zones 8) Shell story 9) Tide pool Life at Yaquina Head Monday Oceans all around us, the wonders of waves and tidal rhythms, Materials: globe ball (& earthball), Salmon Life cycle cards,, Sea song words, pictures of tides pools with tide in and out (could be in Books) Younger Group 9:00 Sign in, journal time Color the cover 9:15 Circle up Introductions, names, 3 R s 9:25 Tides circle game: Ask kids about low/high tide going to the beach. 9:45: Tides Earth Science for every kid (pg 221). Demonstrate centrifugal force of tides by spinning water in a cup. Let kids try it to feel the force themselves. Fill a bucket halfway with water. Submerge a ball halfway and ask kids to observe what happens to the water explains the notion that the same amount of water is there, it is just at a higher level in the bucket than it was before. 10:00 make blue water color background 10:05 It's A Wet World Tide Journal page 10:15 Snack 10:45 How much water is in the ocean, where does all the water go that we see in the rivers and streams? Globe Toss Demonstration: One world ocean, covering 71% of the earth and is home to 50% of earth s species. Ask the students what percent of the world is covered by water make predictions and record. 2. Have each student mark their principle index finger with a dot using a permanent marker (for younger children just use thumbs). If you have more than one globe, divide groups. Designate one student per group as the record keeper. Stand (or sit) in a circle and toss (or roll) the ball back and forth. After each catch, check where the dot on the finger is touching and call out "water" or "land" instruct the students to be careful not to move their fingers after their first touch on the ball until you have recorded what their fingers were touching. Teacher should record results. 3. Toss to each student, need to have at least kids. See what percentage of "water the kids fingers landed on, should be around 70 75%.

3 11:15 Oceans all around us (nature scope, pg 7 & marine kit) Look at globe, put flags on oceans and travel to each ocean without touching land. Journals: Map of the world Can they find their way through to all the oceans without touching land, write the names of the oceans. 11:35 How much freshwater is their on the planet? Measuring Demo 12:00 Lunch 1:00 Return to Avery House ; Sea water experiments : Earth Science for every kid Salty water see attached sheet ( pg 209); Super cooled (pg 217) 1:30 add glue and salt kelp to watercolor ocean background for sea otter art project 1:45 Planet Earth Into the deep Sea some of the Ocean Creatures 2:05 Hike to the river to net for plankton discuss plankton as the basis of an ocean food chain. Tuesday Marine mammals: How do animals without gills survive life at sea? Materials: Chalk, measuring tape, web of life cards, Clay, cardboard squares, Marine mammal costumes, 9:00 Sign in and Journals Whale world 9:15 Story Whale Migration 9:30 Whale to Scale Activity: Have students measure out 100 feet (size of a gray whale) and put markers on each end. Then have kids lay head to head along the entire length and see how close they get to the length of the whale. 9:50 Whale Migration game (kit) Placemats represent suitable habitat in Arctic and Mexico. Students gather food tokens, and migrate! Must be on habitat square. Take two tokens per trip for energy expense. Anyone who runs out of tokens, or who can t find habitat (after you take some away for oil spill) dies, and become whale hunter or storm (hunter tag = death to whale, storm tag = give storm a food chip) reincarnate some students as babies the whales must birth in and give 2 chips to, and travel back to the arctic with them. 10:15 Baleen activity use combs to simulate how a whale collects krill

Draw shell in their journal and write what it might of eaten and where it lived in the tide zones ( Journal page). Share shells Plankton samples Types on ocean invertebrates

5 9:20 What's the difference between a Coral Reef and a tide pool? (pictures) Are there any in Oregon? Corals are found all over the world, but reefs are only found where the water is warm (above 68 degrees) usually along the shores of continents. Activity: Symbiosis in the tide pools and coral reefs Find your matching 10:15 Snack 10:40 Tide Story 11:05 Ocean Life Tide Zone Relay : (Paint on large cloth backdrop of zones, including deep water, do a relay race to put all the animals in the right zones where they would live) 11:30 Hermit Crab shell game Each student is a hermit crab with a soft squishy butt and has grown too big for their home. They must find a new shell to protect their butts before you, the hungry seagull, finds them! Hats represent shells. Eat students whose hats are too big or small, or who don t find a hat. Last round a beachcomber has collected the biggest shells. Discuss human impact on hermit crab populations. What was hard?

9 10:35 Intro to marine food chains Wednesday Journal Shell story Single cell organisms yeast colony other organism growing activity Ocean invertebretes find and match invertibrate groups make description cards for groups like soil activity Life in the tide zones activity in young also Research one tide creature with books Might be nice if it is one we have examples for Symbiosis in the ocean game partner challenge with different kinds of symbiosis Afternoon Fish Jellyfish Art Friday Overfishing Activitiy: Active game with fish of different size and kids are fisherman. If they take too many, then there are no fish the next year. Could be rounds were they take different sized fish or could have teams and form strategies. Different fish they leave will reproduce different amounts. If they leave a big fish, then could add three the next year. If they leave a small fish then they only get one more the next year, etc.
