Module 2: Lesson 3: Seafloor Structures
Objective:
- The student will interpret scientific data and produce appropriate graphic representations of that data.
Lesson 3 - Standards
Ma: The student will demonstrate an understanding of how scientific inquiry and technological design, including mathematical analysis, can be used appropriately to pose questions, seek answers, and develop solutions.
- Ma.2: Use appropriate laboratory apparatuses, technology, and techniques safely and accurately when conducting a scientific investigation.
- Ma.3: Use scientific instruments to record measurement data in appropriate metric units that reflect the precision and accuracy of each particular instrument.
- Ma.5: Organize and interpret the data from a controlled scientific investigation by using mathematics, graphs, models, and/or technology.
Think about the following questions as you progress through the lesson:
- How has the surface of the Earth evolved over its geologic history as a result of geologic process?
- How will the characteristics of the seafloor continue to change as a result of geologic processes?
