The North Atlantic White Shark Puzzle: A Virtual Field trip with EarthEcho and OCEARCH

by EarthEcho International

Learn about the North Atlantic Great White Shark Puzzle and the technology behind the pings, shark science, and what we can all do to help the future of these amazing animals and our ocean live with EarthEcho and on June 1st at 11:30 am EST.

Since 2012, OCEARCH has been on expeditions conducting research on apex predator sharks in the North Atlantic, to enable research that would help solve the puzzle of the life history of these keystone species. One of the studies includes researching the movements of White Sharks in the North Atlantic. All of this research is then open sourced so all of us can learn about where these sharks are going, when, and why. Join us as we talk about tagging technology and sharks with OCEARCH! Learn about the technology behind the pings, shark science, and what we can all do to help the future of these amazing animals and our ocean.

Lindsay Laughner is a marine science educator and an OCEARCH Education Ambassador. In these roles, she integrates the OCEARCH Global Shark Tracker and the next generation science standards into the OCEARCH S.T.E.M. curriculum, and S.T.E.M. education programs to prepare students to be the next generation of ocean stewards. She has joined OCEARCH on six expeditions, where she is a part of education outreach, and collaborates with scientists and crew members to create content that connects students and teachers with the research conducted on the ship, and the science of the ocean and marine species.

Standards Alignment

National Standards

Next Generation Science Standards Included in this Virtual Field Trip:
ESS3.C: Human Impacts on Earth Systems: Human activities have significantly altered the biosphere, sometimes damaging or destroying natural habitats and causing the extinction of other species. But changes to Earth’s environments can have different impacts (negative and positive) for different living things. (MS-ESS3-3)
ESS2-3.Obtain information to identify where water is found on Earth and that it can be solid or liquid.
ESS2-2. Describe and graph the amounts of saltwater and freshwater in various reservoirs to provide evidence about the distribution of water on Earth.
ESS3-1. Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth’s resources and environment.
MS-ESS3. Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment.
