Expectations

SO6.a
Develop and use a model to demonstrate how the ocean and land are connected by the hydrologic and other biogeochemical cycles.
SO6.b
Plan and carry out an investigation to discover the unique properties of seawater when compared to fresh water. (Clarification statement: Water quality monitoring could be used to address this element.)
SO6.c
Ask questions to investigate how the water column is structured based upon the physical properties of seawater (temperature, salinity, density).
SO6.d
Develop an argument based on evidence to support the claim that the physical properties of sea water influence the evolution, adaptations and distributions of marine organisms. (Clarification statement: This should include addressing how invertebrate and vertebrate organisms are differently impacted by sea water properties.)
