Ocean from A to Z - COSEE Coastal Trends 
Lesson PlanSummary
Students create multi-media projects in which they research and report on organisms for each letter of the alphabet. The research is conducted in class and/or on their own over a two-week period.
Concept: Ocean life diversity
There is a high diversity of life in the ocean with a wide range of functions and interactions.

90+ minsUsing Genetic Techniques - COSEE Coastal Trends
Lesson PlanSummary
Students conduct “virtual labs” to explore how scientists extract DNA from samples, amplify the DNA (PCR/Polymerase Chain Reaction), and study the DNA (gel electrophoresis).
Open ocean aphotic/twilight zone: Fishy deep-sea designs - NOAA Ocean Explorer
Summary
Students explore the adaptation of fishes living in the mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones of the deep ocean.
Concept: Ocean habitats
There are many diverse habitats in the open ocean, which contribute to the diversity of organisms.
