Investigation 4: Temperature and Salinity
Science notebooks Density Lab instructions Salinity and Temperature station instructions Temperature Current lab instructions Maps from Investigation 1	Fruit juice cocktail Actual or virtual model of Marsili’s demonstration 3 or 4 plastic water bottles filled with cotton balls, water, sand, etc.	4A: Cranberry juice, orange juice, club soda Sugar, salt Per group: Graduated cylinder Large beaker Spoon or stirrer Balance Calculator 4B: Per group: Two clear plastic water bottles One bottle lid Tornado tube (or duct tape) Plastic disk Dish towel and tray Water ¼ cup of salt Food coloring Sheet of white paper Hot tap water (100-110 degrees F) Ice cold (refrigerated) water 4C: Per group: Blue food color Red food color Very hot water Ice water Insulated containers for hot and cold water Room temperature water 2 paper or styrofoam cups 2 push pins Marbles or rocks Spoon Ruler Small clear plastic tub or other container, at least as tall as the cups Tray Sheet of white paper	Computer with Internet access and projector.
Investigation 5: Seafloor Topography
Science notebooks Ocean Features	Video Clip Map of ocean floor topography (can be Internet projection)	Ample amounts of modeling clay or other “barrier” like material (might be able to use cleaned rocks and build the clay around the rocks. In this case the rocks work as volume fillers, and therefore less clay would be used in the barrier construction; also, they wouldn’t float while immersed in water) A dishpan or a 25 quart/24 liter low-profile plastic storage container One-liter plastic bottles with a straw component to gently squeeze the water underneath the surface water just above the bottom of the seafloor model Water Salt Measuring tools Water soluble food coloring Pencil and erasers 11 x 8.5 or 11 x 17 inch white paper	Computer connected to the Internet and a projector.
Investigation 6: Debris Detectives Field Trip
Science notebooks		Rubber gloves Trash bags Cameras Pencils Clipboards (optional)	Appropriate location for activity Chalkboard, overhead projector or LCD projector to record/show student data
Investigation 7: Global Conveyor Belt
Science notebooks Project Rubric	Global conveyor belt graphic Global conveyor belt animation Ocean Currents (video) General circulation pattern	Resources for student projects Books and other materials Poster supplies	Classroom computer with Internet access and projector Student access to Internet for research
