Why Do Giant Antarctic Sea Spiders Care About Ratios?

This lesson focuses on the diffusion of gas molecules across the cuticle membrane of sea spider legs and the role body size plays in the ability of sea spiders to uptake gases. Students construct model sea spider legs of varying diameters and use them to investigate the relationship between surface area-to-volume ratios and diffusion.

Overview

Molecules are in constant motion

Ice From the Ocean vs Ice From the Sky – Can You Tell the Difference?

Ice that forms in the polar oceans is an important driver behind the global climate. This ice is physically different from frozen precipitation in a number of different ways. In this brief inquiry activity, students make qualitative observations about two types of ice cubes and deduce ice composition based on their observations. This activity may serve as an introduction to

Biodiversity of the Antarctic Region: Is it a Losing Battle?

Overview

Case studies provide a brief overview or examination of events that impact or alter the way people function and live day to day within the human and physical environment. They help by providing students with “real world” examples that relate to the theoretical content they are studying.

Objective

Students will prepare a case study illustrating the impact
