Introduce your students to the oceans! A 60-min lesson with practical activities suitable for 11-14 year olds, replicating the work of scientists on the Catlin Arctic Survey 2010-11. The scientists camped on the frozen sea ice for two months to examine what changes are occurring to phytoplankton and zooplankton in the oceans’ current state, as well as if they were to become more acidic.
Includes three simple practical activities:
what’s happening
the impact it may have on specific marine organisms
the impact on the larger food web.

Encounter Edu has worked with Google to develop training manuals for using Google Earth in the classroom and for mini-expeditions around the school grounds, which incorporates creating virtual fieldwork. The manuals bring together skills for space and mapping, using tech tools, project management and community/pupil agency to improve their own environment. You can also learn to navigate your way around Google Earth and tools it provides with the simple step-by-step skills sheets.
