Professional Development - Learning Ocean Science through Ocean Exploration

 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

Ocean Exploration and Research Program (OER)

Professional Development Workshop

Learning Ocean Science through Ocean Exploration

Saturday, November 6, 2010 - And-  Saturday March 12, 2011

8:00 am – 3:30 pm

Presented in partnership with the San Diego County Office of Education and hosted at the Birch Aquarium at Scripps San Diego, California

From bioluminescent corals to deep vent worms, from tropical underwater volcanoes to the Arctic Ocean floor, we know more about the moon than our ocean. Bring the excitement of current ocean science discoveries to your students using the Learning Ocean Science through Ocean Exploration curriculum.  Do inquiry- and standards-based activities tied directly to ocean expeditions that enable your students to model ocean science exploration in your classroom.

Primary target is teachers in grades 5-12, but enrollment is not restricted to those grades. 

Registration is required and space is limited. Educators who attend both full-day workshops will receive a $100 stipend. Each participant will receive the curriculum book, CD, materials related to activities presented during the workshop, a NOAA Ocean Exploration Certificate of Participation, a continental breakfast, and lunch.

Registration Deadline is October 29, 2010.
