Online Lesson Plans
2007 National Marine Educators Association Conference
“The Changing Ocean: On-line Tools for Teaching Ocean Science”
These lesson plans were created as a joint venture of the Census of Marine Life Gulf of Maine Area Program, Gulf of Maine Ocean Observing System, and the University of New Hampshire Coastal Ocean Observing Center for a workshop at the National Marine Educators Association 2007 Conference, Portland, ME, July 25, 2007.
The goal of this series of lesson plans is to introduce educators and students to on-line resources for visualizing and understanding ocean science, including using Google Earth to display ocean characteristics, such as sea level height, species distribution, wave heights and sea surface temperature.
