Seawater Physics Project:
With your team, create a google slides presentation on your assigned topic that includes responses to the questions. Your responses should include EACH key point in your assigned readings! Each slide must include a picture/diagram with text! Minimum of 5 slides, maximum of 10 slides. Once complete, upload google slides on google classroom and present to class.

Group 1: Acidity and Alkalinity (Pg. 6-19 to 6-22)
- What factors affect seawater's pH?
- Why does pH change with depth?
Group 2: Light (Pg. 7-16 to 7-19)
- How does water scatter and absorb light?
- What are the photic, euphotic, and dysphotic, and aphotic zones?
Group 3: Color and Concealment (Pg. 7-20)
- How do marine prey and predators enhance their survival?
- What is the most common coloration pattern?
- Describe each type of color pattern and body shape mentioned in the text. Also describe where the marine organisms live and how this color pattern/body shape protects it from predators.
Group 4: Temperature: (Pg. 7-21 to 7-22)
- What advantage does ocean-based existence have over land-based existence with respect to temperature?
- What are an ectotherm, an endotherm, and homeotherm?
- How does temperature affect metabolism?
- What's the advantage of being an endotherm?
Group 5: Sound (Pg. 7-22 to 7-24)
- How does water affect sound?
- What are the similarities and differences of sonar and echolocation?
- How do some marine mammals use sound in water to their advantage?
Group 6: Pressure (Pg. 7-25 to 7-27)
- What is hydrostatic pressure?
- What effects does it have on marine life?
Group 7: Size and Volume (Pg. 7-28)
- How do surface-to-volume ratios change as cell size increases?
- Why is a high surface-to-volume ratio important to cell function?
Group 8: Buoyancy (Pg. 7-29-7-30)
- How does buoyancy affect both swimming and drifting marine organisms?
Group 9: Movement and Drag (Pg. 7-31 to 7-32)
- What characteristics allow marine organisms to avoid sinking?
- What characteristics do marine organisms have to handle water resistance?
