5-10 Facts are due on 10/9/20. They are posted on this padlet. Each member has to have posts.
10/13/20 Work on the script either alone or with classmates. Share your ideas in open mic class.
10/19 Get feedback about the scripts and posters.
10/23 Complete and post a short video or poster HERE; if anyone wants me to "shoot" the play please perform it during open mic.

How do I get support?

motherofemi — 2020-09-27 17:32:00 UTC

Come to the Tuesday and Thursday writing support classes with Ms. Ana Raquel. We also have writing support sessions with Ms. Jenny on her zoom Thursday from 2-2:30 p.m. and Friday 1:30-2 p.m.

Parent Question: DOES MY CHILD HAVE TO SHARE THE WRITING WITH EVERYONE?

motherofemi — 2020-09-27 17:58:01 UTC

No, but your child should share it with me and post it on this padlet so I can find it quickly. Your child makes notes in Google Classroom or directly in the padlet. When it is time to share notes, click "share" and select the best option. Then click "get link" to get a link. POST THE FACTS ON THIS PADLET. Post the skits and posters here.

Parent Question: Why is my child writing a script?

motherofemi — 2020-09-27 17:59:20 UTC

The children are concluding a four day field marine science trip. This follow up research is a way of getting the children to read, decide what is important, and teach classmates new information. Don't worry, we will post work samples as we go!

https://caseagrant.ucsd.edu/seafood-profiles/olympia-oyster California sea grant. UC san diego “Olympia oysters have historically been a part of Indigenous People's diets in the Northwest Pacific region. Production peaked from 1890s to 1900 but greatly declined after due to pollution and over harvesting. Larger, faster growing species, like the Pacific Oyster from Japan, continue to dominate oyster farming in the U.S. Oyster beds provide many ecosystem benefits such as: habitat for other species, improved water quality, biodiversity support, reduced shoreline erosion, and enhanced restoration projects. Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch classifies farmed oysters as three of its “Best Choices” for seafood options.”

https://thewatershedproject.org/wild-shorelines/ Oysters provide key ecosystem services along our shorelines. They build reefs by attaching to hard substrates, such as rocks and each other, creating habitat that shelters other ocean life and increases ecosystem diversity Oysters are filter feeders, collecting nutrients and expelling cleaner water. Olympia oysters can filter up to 12 gallons of water per day. Aquatic plants like eelgrass benefit because light can penetrate further down in clearer water, allowing more photosynthesis to take place

"One of the simplest ways to copy and paste on a Chromebook — especially if you're coming from a Mac background — is to use keyboard shortcuts. But there are other methods as well, in case you need them. Here are a few keyboard shortcuts you'll find useful:

Press and hold the control button (which is generally located in the left corner of your keyboard) and press "C" to copy or "V" to paste.
Press and hold "CTRL," as well as the shift key (typically located just above the control key) and press "V" to paste — this will paste text without any formatting.
You can also press control and the "A" key to highlight all of the text on a page, then use the first command listed here to copy all that text."

"Not only are humpback whales smart, but they’re also quite vocal! Each population communicates through its own dialect, and sings its own whale song. But, whales aren’t born knowing how to sing. Each baby whale learns from other whales around them. Oddly enough, only the male whales sing."

Sandpipers (who eat invertebrates)

s_hayleyschoeneman — 2020-10-07 01:35:39 UTC

Fact #1
“The tip of a sand pipers bill is very sensitive to touch, and this even allows them to sense things indirectly. \ When the bill is forced into wet sand or mud, the water displaces and moves away. If the flow of water is blocked by something in the sand or mud (like a small clam), slightly higher pressure builds up where the water is squeezing between the bird’s bill and clam. Sensing that pressure the bird knows that probing in that direction may be worthwhile.”

Sibley, D. A. (2020) What It’s Like to Be a Bird, New York, Alfred A. Knopf

Fact #2
“This species spends all day running down the beach to find food uncovered by a receding wave, and back up the beach to escape the next wave.”

Sibley, D. A. (2020) What It’s Like to Be a Bird, New York, Alfred A. Knopf

Fact #3
Regarding how a flock flies “There is no leader - any bird in the flock can suggest a turn. The other birds see a change in direction, and if they also turn the reaction is transmitted through the flock at a constant rate (much like a “wave” in a sports stadium.) A flock the size of a football field can change direction in this way in less than 3 seconds.”

Sibley, D. A. (2020) What It’s Like to Be a Bird, New York, Alfred A. Knopf

Fact #4
“Sanderlings may be seriously endangered. Some studies suggest that their numbers have dropped by more than 80% since the 1970s because of land development along their migration routes.”

Latimer, J.P. (1999) Shorebirds, New York, Houghton Mifflin Company

Fact #5
“Breeding birds have rusty mottling on the back, head and breast."
"Non breeding birds are pale gray above and white below without streaking.”

Fact # 5

https://www.thoughtco.com/surprising-facts-about-sea-cucumbers-2291852

Kennedy, Jennifer. "8 Surprising Facts About Sea Cucumbers." ThoughtCo, Aug. 26, 2020, thoughtco.com/surprising-facts-about-sea-cucumbers-2291852.

“Sea cucumbers are related to sea stars, sea urchins, and sand dollars.”

Fact #6

“Sea cucumbers have a surprising defense mechanism in which they will expel their inner organs if they feel threatened, or even if they are overcrowded.” (8)

“This process, called evisceration, may occur if the sea cucumber is disturbed or threatened. It may also occur regularly, possibly as a way for the sea cucumber to purge its inner organs of excess wastes or chemicals. Once the organs are discharged, they regenerate within days or weeks.”

Cuttlefish

Fact #1
"Underneath the cuttlefish's many tentacles lies a razor-sharp beak, much like that of your average parrot. This tool allows the cuttlefish to nosh on crab, mollusks and other hard-shelled animals. The hidden weapon is extra vicious because it sports a toxin designed to freeze prey in their tracks once bitten."

website: https://animals.howstuffworks.com/marine-life/cuttlefish.htm

Fact #2
"The brain of a cuttlefish is enormous compared to other invertebrates (animals without a backbone) enabling cuttlefish to learn and remember. Despite being colour blind, they have very good eyesight and can vary their colour, shape and movement rapidly to communicate or camouflage."

website: https://www.mba.ac.uk/fact-sheet-cuttlefish

Fact #3
"Cuttlefish produce clouds of ink when they feel threatened. This ink was once used by artists and writers (sepia)."

website: https://www.mba.ac.uk/fact-sheet-cuttlefish

Fact #4
"Cuttlefish are skillful colour-changers. From birth, young cuttlefish can already display at least thirteen types of body pattern."

website: https://www.mba.ac.uk/fact-sheet-cuttlefish

fact #5
"Cuttlefish are exclusively marine species and can be found in most marine habitats from shallow seas to deep depths and in cold to tropical seas. Cuttlefish typically spend the winter in deep water and move into shallow coastal waters to breed in the spring and summer. There are around one hundred species of cuttlefish around the world."

My own words, Fact 1:

blob123 — 2020-10-09 17:55:03 UTC

If you wanted to learn how to say "Zooplankton" Perfectly then you need to know what it means and HOW do you say it. In the dictionary it is a greek word for "Animal Drifter" and is pronounced /zōə-plaNGktən/ or /zo-oh-plank-tin/

My own words, Fact 2:

blob123 — 2020-10-09 17:55:58 UTC

The upwelling is when currents push zooplankton up to the surface. Zooplankton reproduce at a very fast rate during an upwelling. After the upwelling, only around 500 to 5,000,000 zooplankton survive depending on the animals there, because when zooplankton reach the surface, they are easy prey for fish, birds, and whales. Soon the upwelling is over and the survivors drift to the seafloor.

My own words, Fact 3:

blob123 — 2020-10-09 17:57:10 UTC

My own words:
Zooplankton are a predator to 2 main things. Phytoplankton and diatoms. Phytoplankton are smaller plants that produce oxygen, and diatoms are a type of algae. The mouth of Zooplankton can create currents that pull in the phytoplankton and diatoms. Some eat each other.

My own words, Fact 4

blob123 — 2020-10-09 17:58:23 UTC

My own words:
Are you wondering how small it is? 0.2 to 20 mm. Some are big as 2 cm. But we can see, they are microscopic. From space they can appear as large swarms! The size varies, through small to large! WOW! But most biggest zooplankton are up to a whopping 204 feet!

My own words, Fact 5

blob123 — 2020-10-09 17:59:14 UTC

Now the most amazing facts! Zooplankton Are born microscopic, but grow to be Surprisingly Large some can turn into crabs, but then are not classified as zooplankton anymore, some can be octopi and then when they become octopi they gain stronger control against current and can swim and also get booted off of the zooplankton group, but the largest of all is… the… jellyfish? Yes that's right! They can be up to 204 feet long! Full size jellyfish are still zooplankton because they still drift.

Fact 1

Fact 2

s_maziararmajani — 2020-10-09 18:37:49 UTC

s_otisallen — 2020-10-14 20:48:31 UTC

Most Dungeness crabs live in the Pacific Northwest, their name comes from Port of Dungeness Washington. According to the Ocean Conservancy “Dungeness crab prefer sandy or muddy parts of the ocean floor, especially around eelgrass beds.” BioExpedition explains that “They are a brown color that allows them to easily blend into their surroundings.” This makes sense as they live in sand and mud. Bio Expeditions further explains “They feature a very hard shell that they molt several times over the span of their life so that they are able to continue growing." Some Dungeness crabs will live up to 10 years! That's older than me!

FACT#1 In my own words

2020-10-15 01:40:11 UTC

According to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the egg-yolk jelly fish is one of the biggest jellies often seen in Monterey Bay.

FACT#3 In my own words

2020-10-15 01:58:21 UTC

Fried Egg Jellyfish live 6 months out of a year, summer to winter.

Script part 2- what they eat and how they eat

s_otisallen — 2020-10-15 17:27:32 UTC

They survive by eating other small invertebrates. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game describes that “Dungennes crab actively prey on small clams and worms, shrimp, fish but will also eat dead invertebrates." Dungeness crabs use some of their appendages to capture and eat their prey.

Script part 3- anatomy, how this helps them prey and protects against predators

s_otisallen — 2020-10-15 17:30:36 UTC

Dungeness crabs have a lot of appendages. Describing the crab's anatomy, The National Park Service reports “Two pairs (antennae) are for touch and smell”, this helps them locate their prey. “A number of modified appendages act as a mouth, used for cutting, picking, sorting and pulverizing food”, this allows them to easily catch and eat their prey. “The pincers, the most recognizable appendage, are used for grasping, tearing and defense." This helps them defend against predators. Lastly, they state a very cool fact " Crabs are able to regenerate lost appendages."

Script part 4- predators and threats to existence

s_otisallen — 2020-10-15 17:40:18 UTC

While these crabs are aggressive and prey on other small invertebrates, they also have a number of predators themselves. According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game “Species which prey upon hard-shelled Dungeness crab include humans, sea otter, octopus and Pacific halibut; larger Dungeness crabs and staghorn sculpin are important predators on juvenile Dungeness crabs in some areas.” In terms of humans as a predator, many commercial fisherman consider dungeness crab as one of the most valuable fisheries. However, according to the Ocean Conservancy although they are a tough species environmental conditions may also be a large threat, “Ocean acidification changes the chemistry of our oceans, scientists and fishermen are just beginning to understand how it will impact this important species."

Defined Words

Organic Matter. Organic matter is defined as he carbon-based compounds found in nature. Living things are described as organic since they are composed of organic compounds.

https://www.biologyonline.com/dictionary/organic-matter

Acidification. Acidification is defined as a reduction in the pH of the ocean over an extended period of time, caused primarily by uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere.

https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/acidification.html

Evisceration

Evisceration is a method of autotomy (removing one's own body parts) involving the ejection of internal organs used by animals as a defensive strategy. Sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea) eject parts of the gut in order to scare and defend against potential predators such as crabs and fish.

Evisceration (autotomy) - Wikipedia

More Facts:

When a sea cucumber feels threatened, scared or even too full, it will do a strange thing to fix it called evisceration. When a sea cucumber eviscerates, it throws out its inner organs, mostly through its 🤬. But the organs aren’t lost. The sea cucumber grows them back in about one and one half weeks.

Proposed Script

Sea Cucumber: “Hi. I am the sea cucumber. I am not a vegetable, but an animal that looks like a cucumber.”

Pearl Fish 1: “It must clean inside of the sea cucumber because he cleans up the whole ocean, he is the ocean’s janitor.”

Pearl Fish #2: “How does he do that?”

Pearl Fish #1: “It moves along the ocean floor using its tentacles. It takes in sand, eats the organic matter (carbon containing compounds such as living things), and poops what is left.”

Pearl Fish #2: “Ugh.”

Pearl Fish #1: “No. The poop is good for the ocean. It helps in making coral reefs and might reduce acidification ( making the water more acidic, which is not good).”

Pearl Fish #2: I don’t see any gills. How does that thing breathe?”

Pearl Fish #1: “Through its 🤬! But that is not the only weird thing going in and out of its 🤬.

Pearl Fish #2: “What do you mean?”

Pearl Fish #1: “Well. When a sea cucumber feels threatened, scared or even too full, it will do a strange thing to fix it called evisceration (removing its own body parts). When a sea cucumber eviscerates, it throws out its inner organs, mostly through its 🤬. But the organs aren’t lost. The sea cucumber grows them back in about one and one half weeks.”

Pearl Fish #1: “Let’s go meet my friends. They are inside the sea cucumber-he can hold about 15 of us.”

Pearl Fish #2: “Cool!. Look at this anterior!. We’ve hit the jackpot, baby!”

Sea Cucumber: “What are you all doing in my 🤬????”

The end.
