While written to incorporate computer technology the lesson can be easily adapted to paper and pen Lesson Objective Students will compose a series of slides based on the exhibits at OC The teacher may select one type of exhibit such as those that co Vocabulary.

What are the major abiotic factors that determine the aquatic ecosystems?. What are transitional aquatic ecosystems and why are they important?. Summary. This lesson utilizes the example of healthy estuaries to demonstrate tools scientists use to measure ecosystem health. Students will learn the definition and function of an estuary, an essential coastal ocean ecosystem. Students will then learn methods to measure parameters of large areas using quadrats and subsets. . Unit Standards. 5.L.4A.1 . Analyze and interpret data to summarize the abiotic factors (including quantity of light and water, range of temperature, salinity, and soil composition) of different terrestrial ecosystems and aquatic ecosystems. . Key Message #1. 9. Ch. 9 | Oceans and Marine Resources. The Nation’s valuable ocean ecosystems are being disrupted by increasing global temperatures through the loss of iconic and highly valued habitats and changes in species composition and food web structure. Ecosystem disruption will intensify as ocean warming, acidification, deoxygenation, and other aspects of climate change increase. In the absence of significant reductions in carbon emissions, transformative impacts on ocean ecosystems cannot be avoided.. Getting started. You’ll need a notepad on which to make notes as you go along, or you could make notes, paste images, etc. on your device..
