Inquiry: Environmental Issue Stable Functioning of Marine E…

You need a practice ESS inquiry section that:

1. Explains the environmental issue or topic in your case, stable functioning of marine ecosystems.
2. Shows how your research question (RQ) fits into this issue. Your RQ:
3. How does the time of day (morning vs late afternoon) affect TDS (total dissolved solids) and temperature in ocean water?
4. Includes:

• Key terms: TDS, temperature, time of day, ocean water, marine life.
• A strategy related to the issue (e.g., Marine Protected Areas) that already exists.
• Tensions or different perspectives about that strategy (like ecological benefits vs human/socioeconomic costs).
• Arguments for each perspective.
• Your personal viewpoint on the strategy.

1. Links your RQ to the environmental issue: your RQ measures abiotic factors that affect marine ecosystems.
2. Uses credible sources (articles, NGO/GO websites).
3. Stays between 400600 words.

Optional: You can include a hypothesis for how temperature and TDS change throughout the day.
