Introduction to Table of Contents

The ecosystem of which striped bass are a part is dynamic and constantly changing primarily due to the seasonal migrations of many of the predators and prey that make up a complex food web.

Lesson plans are constantly being developed and added to this site by students and teachers who have conducted research at the MBL. These lesson plans provide material that can be added to curricula.

To aid in the incorporation of material into the classroom setting, the categories and subcategories in the Table of Contents that follow are similar to those present in the 2016 Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Standards. A subcategory in yellow has a lesson plan available. Please check the Table of Contents frequently to determine when new Lesson Plans are added. If you have a specific need for your class or you have a Lesson Plan you would like to contribute, don’t hesitate to contact us.

To help students in the proper way to design experiments and analyze data, Laurel Barnett has developed a Lesson Plan to provideguidance on how to ask a question, developa hypothesis and then test it.
