Siphonophores: Little Known Beauties of the Sea in Marine Biology Part 2

Siphonophore... wait, siphono-what??  In this one time class, we will take a virtual trip into the ocean and meet some of them. We will start by learning what a siphonophore is and a little bit about them in general. Then we will get our feet wet as we explore this beautiful and bizarre world of siphonophores. Many are surprised to know that they actually know of a siphonophore: the Portuguese Man-O-War. What about some of the other amazing siphonophores? Using a combination of lectures, slides, photos, videos, questions, and other interactive activities we will learn about these fascinating animals. No prior knowledge or experience is necessary. 

We will also be viewing a few videos from the Monterrey Bay Aquarium Research Institute's, Nautilus Live, Schmidt Ocean Institute, and NOAA YouTube channels that pertain to the animals being discussed.  

There will also be optional review quiz on Kahoot! And printouts to reinforce facts and vocabulary learned. Includes a crossword puzzle, and a search-a-word.

If you don't see a class time or section that works for you, send me a message and I'll see what we can work out. Can be flexible with time zones and accommodate all time zones in the USA, and morning/early afternoon time zones in Australia.
