Learning Ocean Science through Ocean Exploration Curriculum (Part II of

Saturday, May 8, 2010, 8:00 am - 3:30 pm
in partnership with and hosted by the New England Aquarium
Boston, Massachusetts

Join educators during this follow-up session to the introductory
professional development workshop on Learning Ocean Science through
Ocean Exploration, a curriculum developed by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration's Office of Ocean Exploration and Research
(OER). Conduct inquiry- and standards-based activities tied directly to
ocean expeditions with Ocean Exploration Facilitator Tami Lunsford. In
addition, participants will have the opportunity to hear from and
interact with Dr. Dwight Coleman, Director of the Inner Space Center at
the University of Rhode Island. Dr. Coleman will discuss Ocean
Exploration and Archaeological Oceanography, and the Inner Space Center,

a new facility built to support both these disciplines through live
ship-to-shore telepresence technology.

Pre-registration is required and space is limited. Each participant will

receive unique take-home materials, a NOAA Ocean Exploration Certificate

of Participation, a continental breakfast, and lunch. A $100 stipend
will be available for those who participate in both the Introductory and

Follow-up full-day workshops. If spaces are available, educators who
have not yet participated in a NOAA Ocean Exploration Introductory
Workshop are still welcome to join us for this Follow-up Workshop.

Registration Deadline is April 23, 2010.
