Description:Four classroom activities are described in this series one of SeaScope Aquatic Activity folios, written by and for teachers using the video microscope Scope-On-A-Rope (SOAR). The activities are targeted at intermediate (grades 4-6) and middle school (grades 6-8) students, and cover life sciences (morphology of crawfish and snail, life cycle and role of the mosquito) and earth sciences (physical properties of sand). Each folio includes suggestions for related curricula in other subjects. The following four titles from Series 1 are as follows: 1. Looking for Ol'Crusty, by Linda S. Bonnette; 2. Trailing the Snail, by Barbara Hoffman; 3. Secrets of Sand, by Pamela Borne Blanchard; and 4. Mosquitoes: Their place on the planet, by Robyn Vaughan.
Series 2: Squid are among the most intelligent invertebrates, and have adapted to a highly mobile, predatory life. The focus of the 8-pg folio is to investigate the special adaptations of squid. The activities, part of LSU's Scope-on-a-Rope Series 2 utilizing microscopes, are designed around student observations of the anatomy of squid. Students will learn how squid have evolved for survival in the sea by observing, measuring, making hypotheses, and recording data.
