Abstract | Oceans are often considered mysterious, fascinating places filled with unique and scary animals. One of the most misunderstood and therefore scariest animals is the shark, yet the whale shark, the world's largest fish, is considered harmless to humans. This student-directed activity involves research, deductive reasoning, and students' own curiosity to solve a mystery involving whale sharks. During the course of solving the case students learn about the whale shark's place in the food chain, the cyclic effect of El Nino on ocean water temperatures, and the hypothetical effect El Nino has on this food chain. Other areas that are addressed include world geography and upwelling. (ERIC). |
