QuickQuiz: Now that you have researched careers: 1. Explain the difference between Oceanography and Marine Biology. 2. How does “Marine Science” bridge these two areas of study? Explain.

2. JQ: Would you sign up for the first trip to Mars in 2025
JQ: Would you sign up for the first trip to Mars in 2025? Why or why not?

3. Form (shape) and how it relates to Function (the job) is an important theme in science and engineering. Why is thinking about the form and function of a tool so important for a task like creating a new sampling tool in ocean exploration?

4. Or What do we use to study the marine world?
Tools of the Trade
Or What do we use to study the marine world?

5. Tools of the Trade matching worksheet
Expand your knowledge of the tools used by marine scientists by completing the worksheet as we go over the tools in class.

6. Physical Properties
Thermometer – measures & records temperature at a particular depth
Hydrometer – measures density & temperature, used to find salinity

7. Physical Properties
Link
THERMOMETER
HYDROMETER

8. Physical Properties
Niskin / Nansen Bottle – obtains water samples at a variety of depths
Secchi Disk – measures turbidity/visibility
turbidity - a measure of water cloudiness due to the amount of suspended matter in the water (soil, sediments, sewage, and plankton)
Clear water has a low turbidity level
Cloudy (or muddy) water has a high turbidity level.
