Goal
By the second semester of the marine science curriculum, students will have explored and exercised the standards related to the features and functions of, as well as threats against, a well-balanced environment alongside the anatomy and physiology of invertebrates and vertebrates within these environments. The following proposal affords students an enriching, engaging cumulative product through which to both assess and reward their acquisition of the following standards:
SC.912.L.15.1 – Explain…comparative anatomy…biogeography, molecular biology, and observed evolutionary change.
SC.912.L.17.6 – Compare and contrast the relationships among organisms…
SC.9.12.L.17.1 – Discuss the characteristics of populations, such as number of individuals…and pattern of distribution.
SC.9.12.L.17.4 – Describe changes in ecosystems resulting from seasonal variations, climate change and succession.
SC.9.12.L.17.2- Explain the general distribution of life in aquatic systems…
What will be done with my students
Much of the captivating biological interactions featured in the material covered under marine science can be readily observed within the Southwest Florida region. After communicating with both my school district science instructional specialist and the education outreach coordinator for Sanibel Island CROW (Center for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife) organization, I strongly believe that the following two educational experiences will provide to students the meaningful, standard driven projects for me to deliver them an exceptional sequential instruction and discovery learning:
(1) A guest speaker will visit my school site in order to present a real marine organism. The guest speaker will accompany this with a hands-on activity involving the dissection of this organism to all five of my marine science class periods, a total of 160 students. Some possible options include a crayfish or squid. Meeting the needs of 160 students will require $250.
(2) Due to bus limitations, 90 students will have the opportunity to visit the organization’s rehabilitation center for a “Wildlife Walk”. This in-depth first-hand observation of the people, treatments, and processes – from intake to release – utilized to support the recovery and care of various marine species. Entry is $10 per individual. Meeting the needs of these 90 students will require $900.
