PLANS PLankton And Nutrient Studies for the Chesapeake Bay

What is PLANS A NOAA-funded collaboration between: Calvert County Public Schools Morgan State University, Estuarine Research Center The Society for Ocean Sciences An inquiry-based learning program to build an understanding of the sources, impacts and possible control strategies for nutrient enrichment of the Chesapeake Bay and Patuxent River

Honors & Advanced Placement Environmental Science Nutrient Limitation in the Chesapeake Bay

Nutrient Limitation in the Chesapeake Bay 1. What are the different types of plankton and why are they important? 2. What nutrient (N or P) controls the growth of algae at any particular point in time and location in the Bay? 3. What are the processes and mechanisms that cause the limiting nutrient to vary seasonally? 4. What nutrient sources are the most critical to control on local / regional scales?

Before the School Year Begins- The Teachers Workshop

Preparation Phase Understand the different types of plankton and the role they each play in the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem Review the sources and impacts of nutrient enrichment Introduce the concept of nutrient limitation Design a “nutrient limitation” Bioassay

Viewing a Live Plankton Sample

Action Phase Location – Morgan State University Estuarine Research Center (ERC) Research cruise on the Patuxent River Collect: Water quality data Water samples Plankton samples Dredge samples View plankton samples microscopically Set up and carry out an oyster feeding experiment while at ERC Return to classroom and set up a nutrient limitation bioassay

The Field Trip to MSUERC

Going out on the boat

Taking water quality measurements

Looking at samples and taking pictures

New this year- The oyster feeding experiment The field trip, it’s a good thing…..

The Nutrient Limitation Experiment

Reflection Phase Review / analyze data from nutrient limitation Bioassays Report results on the PLANS Web Site Employ appropriate web resources to develop a local and regional perspective on sources of N and P Track nutrient input and algal blooms Participate in Capstone Activities

Capstone The PLANS Symposium All classes participate Attendees will include, students, educators, policy makers, scientists, media, the public Keynote science speaker Poster presentation Photo competition

The End of the Year Summit

A photo contest and food!!

It was a great first year, but we expect this year to be even better.
