Welcome to Ocean FEST Our Goals Have fun with hands-on science Share about science careers Our Model: Space FEST (created by Art & Rene Kimura for Hawaii’s kids) Our sponsor: The National Science Foundation Hawaii Innovation Initiative Our organizations:

Activity #1 PENNY PLOP Surface Tension What causes water to form a dome? http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/juice/bellyflop.jpghttp://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/juice/bellyflop.jpg, http://static.zooomr.com/images/3807652_fd4f4001e5.jpg http://quest.nasa.gov/space/teachers/microgravity/image/66.gif http://www.space-matters.info/img/waterstrider.jpg
17
Activity #1 PENNY PLOP How many drops of water fit on a penny? Before you start, make a prediction! Key Concepts: Surface Tension, Scientific Method
18
Activity #2a DROWNING ISLAND Key Concept: Climate change is causing sea level to rise.
19
2. Put 2 houses (red beads) on your island -- one on the coast and one inland. 1. Make an island out of this clay ball and put in the “ocean”. 3. Use your pipette to squeeze 10 pipettes full of water onto the ocean.
20
Activity #3 CARTESIAN DIVERS Key Concept: Density determines whether an object sinks or floats.
21
Scuba Diving & Pressure
22
Activity #4 OIL & WATER TUBE Key Concepts: The different densities of oil and water, along with some microbes, help clean up oil spills.
23
MARINE MICROBES: WE CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT THEM Produce oxygen Help moderate the Earth’s climate Our planet’s main decomposers Base of food web
24
Our oceans are becoming more acidic. http://hahana.soest.hawaii.edu/hot/ Red: CO 2 is increasing in the atmosphere Blue: CO 2 is increasing in the ocean

What is an acid? An acid is a class of substances with a sour taste, and when dissolved in water, has a pH of less than 7.0. Acetic acid + Calcium carbonate Calcium acetate + Carbon dioxide CH 3 COOH + CaCO 3 Ca(C 2 H 3 O) 2 + CO 2
28
Activity #5 CORAL SAND & VINEGAR How does acid affect coral and certain microbes? Key Concept: Coral & certain microbes dissolve in acid.
29
Where does sand come from? + =
30
Guess this sound! Hint: It is in the ocean
31
Answer: Parrot Fish (Uhu) munching on coral
32
Activity #5 CORAL SAND & VINEGAR How does acid affect coral and certain microbes? Key Concept: Coral & certain microbes dissolve in acid.
33
Activity # 6a WHAT MICROBE ARE YOU? Discover your microbe personality! In each pair of statements, choose the one that best describes you. Key Concept: There are many different kinds of microbes. Most of them are good for us. Images: http://microscope.mbl.edu
34
Activity # 6b MAKE A MICROBE that sinks slowly and is protected Key Concept: Microbes use diverse strategies to protect themselves and avoid sinking. Images: http://microscope.mbl.edu
35
Activity # 2b DROWNING ISLAND What Happened to Your Island? Key Concept: Climate change is causing sea level to rise.
