This site focuses on the Ocean's complex food chain and its many organisms that have adapted to extreme and unusual conditions in the world's oceans. It is intended to team teachers, scientists, and students in an attempt to deliver real-world science to middle school classrooms. The site contains scientifically accurate articles and web-based curricular activities crafted by teachers for teachers. On 10 April 1912, the Titanic commenced her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York, with 2,227 passengers and crew aboard. Relive the experiences of the scientists, film crews, and explorers who visited the wreckage of the R.M.S. Titanic in August of 1996.
Topics range from what makes sea foam to why icebergs are made mostly of fresh water.
The blue whale is the largest animal in the world and yet it eats very small things. Discover the blue whale food chain and identify living and non-living components of the ocean ecosystem. In 1978, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration published a set of resource guides on Coastal Awareness in Science for elementary, junior high and high school science teachers. The purpose of these resource guides was to promote the exploration of ecology and coastal awareness. The site has a comprehensive annotated bibliography about ocean-related resources.
