At the end of the second week the students should have enough information to complete phase one of the lesson plan. For phase two of the lesson plan the teacher must set up a time to make the video call in to the Shark Tank. This live video teleconferencing connection will allow the students to see sharks first hand. Once connected they can ask the marine biologist questions as they are seeing the sharks swim by. At the end of the session the marine biologist will ask the kids to pick one of the experiments on the WWW site and do that experiment in school and compare their results with kids from another school who are working on the same project.
Kids pick an experiment and do it during lab time.
Set aside one half day or a two hour session for the groups to conduct their experiments. Once done with their experiments, have the kids compare results and talk about their experience with other school kids through e-mail,fax, video teleconferencing, multi media MOO or the construction of web pages.
