Scientist-educator partnerships produce classroom materials

Teacher presenting educational materialsOn July 30-31, the scientist-educator teams, hosted by Centers for Ocean Science Education Excellence (COSEE) Coastal Trends, revealed the classroom materials they created during a six-week program. Each team developed materials for an interactive website where students can explore seagrass and dead zones, examine the trends in these topics, and investigate current research. Activities on the website directly relate to lesson plans that link the concepts on the website to classroom activities and assessment tools for teachers. Over the next few months, these materials will be tested in classrooms and made available to educators and the public.
