  1. Objective: To learn about energy transfer and cycling within marine ecosystems. Do Now: What are some organisms you would expect to find in Puget Sound? How might they be connected?

  2. Every living thing needs energy to survive... But where does this energy come from?

  3. The sun surely plays an important role... VS ? Where does the sun’s energy go? Terrestrial Ecosystems Marine Ecosystems

  4. First stop → PHYTOPLANKTON! Where does this energy go next? Phytoplankton: A diverse group of photosynthetic organisms that form the base of aquatic food webs. PC: OceanBites.org

  5. Next stop - ZOOPLANKTON Where does this energy go next? PC: Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife PC: Ocean Care Solutions PC: Peijnenburg and Goetze (2013), Ecology and Evolution. 3:8 PC: Koyama et al. (2005), Marine Biotechnology. 7:4
