13.
Now take the ends of both pieces of rope together and tie them in a knot, so that the key ring
stays in the center.
14.
Attach the bridle to the plankton net by placing each end of the bridle through the holes in the
duct tape, making sure the key ring is facing away from the net. Attach it by tying a knot at the
end of each piece of rope. Make sure your knot is bigger than the hole.
15.
Take the long piece of rope and put a loop at the end.
16.
Now attach the long piece of rope (which will be your handle) to the key ring. Attach the rope
by tying the end of the rope without the loop to the key ring.
17.
Congratulations – you have a plankton net!

GLOSSARY
algae
(al–jee); Plant‐like organisms in the ocean. Example: seaweed.
bilateral symmetry
(bye‐lat‐er‐ill sim‐ah‐tree); The arrangement of a body which can be divided into two halves
that are mirror images of one another.
carapace
(kah‐rup‐ess); A shell that covers the head and upper body.
cilia
(sill‐ee‐ah); Fine hair‐like projections extending from the animal’s body. (Ciliated is the
adjective.)
cod end
The narrow end of a plankton net where the collection bucket is found.
diatom
(dye‐uh‐tom); A type of phytoplankton. Diatoms are single‐celled algae whose cell walls
contain silica, which is the main component of most types of glass.
dinoflagellate
(dye‐noh‐flaj‐uh‐lit); A type of phytoplankton found in the upper ocean. Dinoflagellates can
move short distances using their two tail‐like projections.
food web
The predator‐prey relationships within an ecosystem or habitat.
holoplankton
(hole‐oh‐plank‐ton); A type of zooplankton (animal‐like) that spend their entire lives as
plankton. Holoplankton are permanent zooplankton.
larva
The early, free‐living immature form of an animal. (Larvae is the plural form of larva. Larval
is the adjective.)
marine
Relating to the ocean or sea.
meroplankton
(mer‐oh‐plank‐ton); A type of zooplankton that only spend part of their lives as plankton.
Meroplankton are temporary zooplankton.
organism
A living thing.
photosynthesis
(foe‐toe‐sinth‐uh‐sis); The way that plants make food. Photosynthesis requires sunlight,
carbon dioxide and water, and produces sugar and oxygen.
phytoplankton
(fight‐o‐plank‐ton); Microscopic plant‐like organisms that live in the ocean.
phytoplankton bloom
A fast increase in the numbers of one or more kinds of phytoplankton.
plankton
Organisms that drift in water and cannot swim against major currents. Plankton are found
in both marine and fresh water environments. Zooplankton and phytoplankton are both
plankton.
plankton net
A cone‐shaped nylon net with small holes that are large enough to allow water to pass
through but small enough to trap plankton.
plankton tow
The process of towing or pulling a plankton net through the water behind a boat or ship in
order to catch and concentrate plankton.
81
symbiotic
(sim–by–ah–tick); A type of relationship between two or more species that live closely
together, for example, anemone and algae. The algae provide food for the anemone and
the anemone provide a habitat for algae.
velum
A part of the body covered with cilia.
zoea
(zoh‐a); Free‐swimming crab larva.
zooplankton
(zoh‐plank‐ton); Animal‐like organisms that drift in water and cannot swim against major
currents.
