1 MARINE BIOLOGY 35 SCHOOL AUTHORITY: Parkland School Division No. 70 SCHOOL: Memorial Composite High School TEACHER COORDINATOR: AVAILABLE TO: Students in Grades 11 or 12 PREREQUISITES: credit in Biology 20 or currently registered in Biology 20 with a minimum of 60% in Science 10 CREDIT ALLOCATION: 5 credits WHAT IS MARINE BIOLOGY? Marine biology is the scientific study of organisms that live in the sea. It encompasses nearly all the disciplines of biology including physiology, behavior and ecology, all in the context of a global perspective. It involves an understanding of the basics of the very closely related science of oceanography. RATIONALE FOR THE COURSE: Despite the fact that our country is bounded by the sea on three sides, many of our students have never seen an ocean. The purpose of this course is to give these students an opportunity to learn about the chemical and physical nature of the ocean environment and the variety of organisms, both plant and animal, that are uniquely adapted to different marine ecosystems. In addition, the course is intended to convey to students an understanding of the importance of the sea to all life on earth and of the need to closely monitor the impact of humans on this environment. COURSE DESIGN: The course will be delivered (as are other 5 credit courses) during one 82-minute block each day for one semester. Marine Biology 35 consists of 4 units of study: A. The Marine Environment B. Life in the Marine Environment C. Structure and Function of Marine Ecosystems D. Humans and the Sea There will be an opportunity for students to participate in an optional, student funded fieldtrip which would include 3 days at the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre (BMSC) on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Those students participating in the fieldtrip would miss only two days of classes and would be involved in three days of activities at the marine station. Those students remaining at the school would carry out a computer research assignment to learn more about BMSC and the research conducted there. Students participating in the fieldtrip would receive no additional credits for their activities at the marine station. Marine Biology 35 Page 1
2 OVERLAP WITH DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION APPROVED HIGH SCHOOL COURSES: There is very little overlap with existing high school courses. The Marine Biology 35 program will build on some of the concepts taught in the Science 10, Science 20, and Biology 20 courses. However, the scope of Marine Biology 35 is much broader than that found in these courses, and the depth of coverage is much more specialized, detailed and focused. There is overlap of a single specific learning outcome with the Science 20 curriculum. 20 C2.6k list and describe the evidence that supports the theory of plate tectonics; i.e., location of volcanoes and earthquakes, ocean floor spreading, mountain ranges, age of sediments, paleomagnetism To understand the nature of the sea floor, an understanding of plate tectonics, is necessary. The theory of plate tectonics is included as part of the Marine Biology 35 course, because few, if any students would have taken Science 20, considering that Biology 20 is a pre/ co-requisite for the Marine Biology course. The course requires Biology 20 as a pre or co-requisite and builds on: Unit A: Energy and Matter exchange in the Biosphere Unit B: Ecosystems and Population Change Unit D: Human Systems None of the knowledge concepts taught in the Biology 20 curriculum will be taught in Marine Biology 35. Students will be expected to come into the course with an understanding of the following concepts developed in Biology 20: 20-A1.1k photosynthesis and chemosynthesis 20-A1.3k structure of ecosystem trophic levels, using models such as food chains and food webs 20-A2.1k biogeochemical cycling and general reuse of matter 20-A3.1k the interrelationship of energy, matter and ecosystem productivity 20-B1.1k the definition of species, population, community, and ecosystem and the interrelationships among them 20-B1.2k a variety of habitats can support a diversity of organisms 20-B1.3k identify biotic and abiotic factors and explain their influence in (succession) 20-B1.4k limiting factors 20-B1.5k principles of taxonomy 20-D1.5k the exchange of matter and transfer of thermal energy between the body and the environment, using the mechanism of breathing in gas exchange and heat loss 20-D3.1k identify the major and associated structures of the nephron and explain their function in maintaining plasma compositions (i.e. water, ph, ions) 20-D3.4k describe the function of the kidney in excreting metabolic wastes. In Marine Biology 35 students will build on this basic biology knowledge to enable an understanding of marine organisms and their interactions. Marine Biology 35 Page 2
3 TEXTBOOK Castro, P. and Huber, M.E. Marine Biology, 5 th ed. New York: McGraw Hill, This textbook has excellent coverage of almost all of the areas of interest in this course at just the right depth for such an introductory course. From the Preface of the text: Marine Biology is used by high school, undergraduate, and adult education students, and by interested laymen not enrolled in formal courses. We have been delighted to learn that even some professional marine biologists find the book to be a useful general reference. we have written the text primarily for lower-division non-science majors at colleges and universities. GENERAL LEARNER EXPECTATIONS: Students will be encouraged to develop: 1. Curiosity about events and objects in the natural world. 2. Appreciation of the beauty and complexity of the natural world. 3. Critical-mindedness in evaluating inferences and conclusions. 4. Respect for the perspectives and viewpoints of others. 5. Confidence in personal ability to solve practical problems. 6. An appreciation for different methods of communicating their knowledge and experiences. 7. An appreciation for the value of team-work and cooperation in a learning environment. SPECIFIC LEARNER EXPECTATIONS: Attitudes: Students will be encouraged to develop: 1. Awareness of the relationship between physical properties of saltwater and the adaptations of life forms to such an environment. 2. Awareness of the relationship and complex interactions between biotic and abiotic factors in the marine ecosystem. 3. Appreciation and respect for the complexity and diversity of living organisms in the marine ecosystem. 4. An appreciation for the unusually great variety and abundance of marine life present along the Pacific coast of Canada. 4. Realization of the need for a global perspective when studying the marine environment, that the oceans and seas of the world are in fact one integrated system 5. An optimistic view regarding the human condition and our ability to live in and interact with their environment in a manner that will tolerate development and industry while maintaining the health of the planet.
