Focus: To understand that that the ocean floor is dynamic and changes through time. Sometimes it’s far away, and sometimes much closer than we think. But where is the ocean floor? Learning objectives: In this activity, pupils will understand that we can find ancient ocean floors on land because of tectonic activity. NB: This will require prior planning and may not be possible if your school is too far from such tectonic formations. Key words: Sedimentation, sedimentary rocks, tectonics, Earth history.

Using various senses to process and store new information is a powerful way of exploring the natural environment for children, but also adults. Using senses through the sensory organs (the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin) makes the learning experience effective, meaningful and unforgettable. This is the most natural method that children use to learn each detail in their environment since they were born.

Focus: To understand and feel how water pressure changes with depth. Learning objectives: In this activity, pupils will recognize the relationship between water depth and pressure. Pupils will be able to reflect on how lifeforms in the deep sea might be affected by the high water pressures in their ecosystems. Key words: Depth, weight, pressure.

Focus: To gain an appreciation of ocean depth using ideas of scale and physical education. Learning objectives: With these TWO activities, pupils will begin to understand (and feel) how deep the ocean can be in relation to their own size and height. They will get a feeling of the difference between height (above ground) and depth (in relation to water). Key words: Height, (ocean) depth.

Focus: To listen to the Arctic Ocean’s sounds and to learn about the Arctic Ocean’s biodiversity, particularly near cold seeps. We will experiment with creating new sound expressions inspired by the Ocean. For pupils with hearing impairment, pupils can create a bodily expression of this and/or use instruments they are comfortable with. Learning objectives: With this activity pupils will start to understand: Key words: Ocean research, exploration, human/non-human relationship within ocean, sounds, place, noise.

Focus: To understand the meaning of the human ecological footprint. Pupils will think about questions like how do our actions (e.g., research) affect the environment around us and, what can we do to reduce the human impact on the oceans? Learning objectives: In this activity, pupils will learn to develop an understanding of their relationship with the oceans and the marine environment and hopefully be inspired to turn their knowledge into action. Key words: Human impact, footprints, action.

Focus: To learn about foraminifera through practicing and presenting the song “The Foraminifera Boogie”. Pupils and teachers can also decide to play instruments along with the recorded soundtrack. Learning objectives: In this activity, pupils will practice listening to one another and the music. They will learn lyrics and use their voices to sing the song. This can be combined with playing actual musical instruments or using instruments the pupils have made themselves (for example see the activity “Cold Seeps Symphony”). This activity brings together music with the scientific story of the Foraminifera. Key words: Ocean, researchers, little known beings in the Arctic Ocean, co-living of humans and non-human beings, planetary time.
