Description:Lesson 18 provides a survey of common marine invertebrates including sponges, corals, lobsters, crabs and sea stars. It provides students with the basic taxonomy of major invertebrate phyla. In the activity, students demonstrate different sampling methods used to study the ocean using a photo of a deep sea community. Students compare different sampling techniques and identify challenges to surveying marine life.
