Ocean Drifters - NOAA Ocean Explorer 
Lesson PlanSummary
Students first learn about the different groups of plankton and their characteristics. Then the students make a model plankton cell which is neutrally or slightly negatively buoyant.
Concept: Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis by marine plants produces much of the oxygen in the atmosphere and uses much of the carbon dioxide.
Education Standards
Photosynthesis by marine plants produces much of the oxygen in the atmosphere and uses much of the carbon dioxide.

75 minsPhotosynthesis and Respiration in Seagrass - COSEE Coastal Trends
Lesson PlanSummary
Students conduct a hands-on experiment that illustrates how different levels of light affect photosynthesis and respiration in seagrass. Note: instructor may need to be creative with timing of the experiment to allow for an adequate incubation period.
