- Synopsis
-
This book is a truly integrated science course in which the science concepts are applied to authentic scientific settings, scenarios, and investigations. You will simultaneously learn about life, Earth, and physical sciences. As you explore real-world data, you get a unique and fresh perspective on the ocean, its inhabitants, and its processes. Science concepts such as plate tectonics, food and energy transfer, and the properties of water come to life as you participate in Student Expert teams that focus on the seafloor, marine food sources, and the sea's surface.
This curriculum program parallels other textbook programs, yet there are some notable distinctions in the way it was put together. Rather than chapters, the book is divided into 34 Lessons, each of which will help you to build your understanding about the ocean and its processes. Marine Science: The Dynamic Ocean gives you the opportunity to access and interpret data sets, including oceanographic, meteorological, and animal tracking observations. You will also participate in fieldwork, assessing local water quality and your school's potential contribution to marine pollution.
