Sea State: Forecast Conditions at Sea
Source Institutions
In this oceanography and data collection activity, learners cast real time sea state conditions using buoys from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center.

Conductivity: Salty Water
Source Institutions
Water, whether fresh or salty, serves as one of the best electrical conductors on the planet. Does salt effect its conductivity?
Waves: An Alternative Energy Source
Source Institutions
In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners evaluate the feasibility of wave energy as a practical alternative energy source using ocean observing system (OOS) buoys.

Heat Capacity: Can't Take the Heat?
Source Institutions
Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.

The Dead Zone: A Marine Horror Story
Source Institutions
In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien
