This workshop was:
• Held at the University of New Hampshire, Durham,
NH
• Covered the living expenses of accepted participants
• Was small, interactive, and fun! |

At this workshop, participants
learned new content, gained lab and sea research experience as well
as identified new classroom activities to translate ocean science
to learners. Through computers and web available data, teachers
learned how the Gulf of Maine works, how it changes and how we can
monitor those changes. Participants identified and tracked seasonal
oceanic changes by studying such topics as phytoplankton blooms,
satellite images, changes in life stages of a larval fish, and seasonal
migration patterns of large pelagic fish. This workshop combined
educational pedagogy and cutting edge content to help teachers find
new and effective ways to teach their students about the ocean.
