1 Lesson Plan Life in the Twilight Zone: Adaptaions for living at diferent depths of the ocean Summary This lesson will explore how scienist's divide the ocean into zones based on physical characterisics (e.g. light, depth, temperature). Light is extremely important to ocean life for a variety of life funcions (photosynthesis, predator/ prey interacions, heat). This lesson will explain how and why certain ish (and other organisms) produce light in the deep ocean. This lesson also explains the importance of light (sun/moon) at the surface to plankton and adaptaions based on available light. Content Area Marine Biology Grade Level 1-3 Key Concept(s) The ocean is divided into zones based on physical characterisics such as sunlight, temperature, and depth.
2 Lesson Plan Life in the Twilight Zone: Adaptaions for living in at diferent depths of the ocean Key Concept(s) Ocean organisms have diferent adaptaions to live at every depth of the ocean from the surface of warm tropical waters to the deep, dark, frigid ocean depths. Light is very important to most ocean organisms for a variety of life funcions. Plankton (zooplankton and phytoplankton) have adaptaions to maintain or move up and down water column based on light levels. Some deep-water ish and other organism can synthesize light to assist in life funcions. Objecives Students will be able to: Explain at least three diferent verical zones in the ocean and describe the amount of available light and relaive temperature in each. Understand that there are a variety of deep-water ish that can produce light to assist in diferent life funcions (i.e. communicaion, atracing prey, escaping predators, maing).
3 Lesson Plan Life in the Twilight Zone: Adaptaions for living in at diferent depths of the ocean Objecives Students will be able to: Explain one reason why phytoplankton need to maintain a posiion in the sunlit zone. Explain why zooplankton move up and down in the water column each day and night. Resources Smithsonian Naional Museum of Natural History Ocean Portal: Bioluminescence htp://ocean.si.edu/bioluminescence Marinebio page: Zooplankton htp://marinebio.org/oceans/zooplankton/index.aspx GCOOS Bathymetry page. Access to topographical maps showing the Gulf of Mexico basin (shape and features). Students can visualize how much area of the Gulf of Mexico is very deep water. htp://gcoos.org/products/topography/introducion.html
4 Lesson Plan Life in the Twilight Zone: Adaptaions for living in at diferent depths of the ocean Naional Science Educaion Standard or Ocean Literacy Essenial Principle Unifying Concepts and Processes 1. Systems, order, and organizaion Unifying Concepts and Processes 5. Form and funcion Science as inquiry A.1: Abiliies necessary to do scieniic inquiry Learning Goals Types and levels of organizaion provide useful ways of thinking about the world. The complexity and number of fundamental units change in extended hierarchies of organizaion. Within these systems, interacions between components occur. Form and funcion are complementary aspects of objects, organisms, and systems in the natural and designed world. The form or shape of an object or system is frequently related to use, operaion, or funcion. Funcion frequently relies on form. Ask a quesion about objects, organisms, and events in the environment. This aspect of the standard emphasizes students asking quesions that they can answer with scieniic knowledge, combined with their own observaions.
5 Lesson Plan Life in the Twilight Zone: Adaptaions for living in at diferent depths of the ocean Naional Science Educaion Standard or Ocean Literacy Essenial Principle Life Science C.1. Characterisics of organisms Life Science C.1. Characterisics of organisms Life Science C.3. Organisms and their environments Learning Goals Organisms have basic needs. Organisms can survive only in environments in which their needs can be met. The world has many diferent environments, and disinct environments support the life of diferent types of organisms. Each plant or animal has diferent structures that serve diferent funcions in growth, survival, and reproducion. For example, humans have disinct body structures for walking, holding, seeing, and talking. An organism s paterns of behavior are related to the nature of that organism s environment, including the kinds and numbers of other organisms present, the availability of food and resources, and the physical characterisics of the environment.
6 Lesson Plan Life in the Twilight Zone: Adaptaions for living in at diferent depths of the ocean Naional Science Educaion Standard or Ocean Literacy Essenial Principle Principle 5 (K-2: A., A.4.) Diversity of Life The ocean supports a great diversity of life and ecosystems. Principle 5 (K-2: B., B.1., B.2.) Diversity of ecosystems The ocean supports a great diversity of life and ecosystems. Learning Goals A. There is a great diversity of organisms in the ocean. A.4. Ocean organisms have a variety of diferent structures and behaviors that help them survive in the ocean. B. The ocean holds a great diversity of unique environments and habitats where organisms live. B.1. There are disinct and unique ocean habitats throughout the ocean and on the coast, of shore, in the deep ocean and at the surface. B.2. Organisms living in diferent kinds of places in the ocean have diferent adaptaions in structure and behavior, which help them to survive in their habitat (e.g. ind and capture prey).

26 Some fish make their own light! A photophore is a light-emitting organ. It can be simple. It can be fancy (shutters, color filters). The light can be produced from 1) Digesting certain foods 2) Special cells called photocytes 3) Light-producing bacteria that are grown in the fish (symbiotic)
27 Why bother making light? It takes energy! Light producing organs on ish are mainly used to: Atract food Confuse predators The kind of photophore helps ID ishes.

Also, you may add photophores or other body structures to this ish and be able to explain how those structures help your ish adapt to life in the deep, dark ocean.
