Day+08

=Day 8 - Life in the Oceans=

**Introduction**
Nearly all energy used by organisms in the ocean ultimately comes from the Sun. Some ocean organisms; however, obtain their energy from chemicals emerging from vents in the ocean floor. God has provided ocean organisms with a variety of features that help them survive in their environments. Some ocean organisms even have chemicals useful for treating medical conditions.

**Materials**
- Earth Science textbook - mobile notebook lab or classroom computer lab - SMARTBoard - PowerPoint - Earth Science Chapter 18-19 Packet

**Step 01:** Teacher led PowerPoint review of textbook reading

 * In your science notebook jot down some thoughts you might have as I review the material you read for today.

**Step 02:** Take a quiz on Photosynthesis and Chemosynthesis.
The quiz is time limited to 5 minutes and consists of 10 questions that are either multiple choice, choosing the correct responses, or true and false. You may only take the quiz once so make sure you have read the material for today before you begin.

Step 03: Research to find marine organisms that have health benefits to humans.

 * Create a blog entry entitled **__Day 8 - Life in the Oceans__**.
 * List in your blog entry for today **ONE** marine organism and it's health benefit or potential health benefit to humans.
 * List in your blog the source for your information.

Step 04: Create a Slide Show

 * Each of you must find images of at least 10 marine organisms.
 * Keep track of your sources for the images.
 * Upload those images to your **Picasa**account. ** AS I MENTIONED IN CLASS - THIS IS OPTIONAL **
 * Use **Picnik** to edit your photos and add fun things to them.
 * Create a blog entry entitled **__Day 8 - Life in the Oceans__**.
 * In the blog entry add the name of the organisms you are using for your slide show, add a one sentence description for each organism, and list the sources for your images.
 * When done, create a slide show using **PhotoPeach**.
 * **Label the organism in the photo on each slide**.
 * __Make sure you have a final slide with your image sources listed__.
 * Feel free to add quiz questions for others to take
 * When done post a link to your slide show on the Day 08 Slide Show wiki page - include your __**FIRST NAME and LAST INITIAL if you need to**__ - after your link.
 * Use the following rubric to help you.
 * ~  ||~ __Slide Show Rubric__ ||~   ||~   ||
 * 3 || 2 || 1 || 0 ||
 * 10 or more images used || 5 to 9 images used || 1 to 4 images used || No images used ||
 * Picnik used on 10 or more images || Picnik used on 5 to 9 images || Picnik used on 1 to 4 images || Picnik not used on images ||
 * All sources for images included on a slide || At least 9 sources included || At least 8 sources included || Less than 8 sources included ||
 * As you view other slide shows please comment on them!
 * I have a sample slide show done for you to check out. When it's done please click the pause button or else the song will continue to play since my sample slide show is shorter than the Youtube music I am using.
