Whale Fall Cycle
Program Ari to represent stages of a whale fall and the ecosystem that forms on the ocean floor. Students use color codes and sequencing to create and refine scientific models.
Coral Inhabitants
Become a marine scientist! Build an interactive coral reef to explore how ocean animals feed and shelter. Program Ari to mimic an ocean creature’s journey, track coral visits, and analyze your data to compare results.
Ocean Energy Food Chain
Bring the energy of ecosystems to life by programming Ari to simulate the flow of energy through a vibrant ocean food chain, from the sun to producers, consumers and decomposers. Use sequencing language to craft and present your model to your others!
Ocean Life Cycles
Students will create interactive diagrams to show the life cycles of two different ocean dwelling organisms. Ari will display the life cycles of the organisms as it travels on a track. Students then compare and contrast the two different life cycles.
