- who: Lisa Pike from the Francis Marion University, US have published the paper: STEM Challenges in Marine Biology Class: A u201cSweetu201d Twist on the Classic Phytoplankton Sinking Rate Activity, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: While this activity has students design plankton and sink their models in water, I use corn syrup as did Clay et. al. With advanced students you can discuss these physical properties of water; with younger students I tell them that the syrup is how the ocean u2018feels` to tiny organisms; it makes the experiment better in that the plankton sink slowly . . .
