Aquarium of the Pacific

AP Biology Lab: Dissolved Oxygen

Opportunity Description

http://www.aquariumofpacific.org/education/yourfieldtrip/schoolprograms/grade_9-12/

Oxygen is one of the most essential components for life on our planet. However, oxygen is not always readily available to animals and plants in the ocean. Through this hands-on laboratory session, students will develop and test a hypothesis regarding dissolved oxygen levels in the harbor adjacent to the Aquarium. Students will collect water samples at varying depths and analyze them for dissolved oxygen content. A class discussion will determine whether or not the results correspond to their hypothesis and why. Please note that the AP Biology Lab is a 2-hour program. If the class arrives more than 30 minutes late, the program will be canceled without refund. Please ask for more information about science standards.
