Subject:

Description:

4 credits Field course provides K-12 educators and others an integration of practical experience in marine science with pedagogical concepts and applications. Students will become familiar with marine science content and scientific methodology through specially designed inquiry-based scientific exercises. During these activities, students will address the process of applying college-level content to their own classroom settings, considering national and state standards. Hands-on, field-based, scientific exercises will provide experience with a diversity of marine habitats and biological, geological, hydrological, chemical, and physical processes that influence them. Visited habitats will include rocky intertidal, salt marsh, tidal flat, beach and channel sand bars. As a result, students will develop field and laboratory skills in marine science and use them in designing materials for their own classroom.
