Grades 3 and up. For a class of 50. Students develop a sense of stewardship toward shores and oceans that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. 5 units in this kit use classroom lectures and activities to teach students how their everyday actions affect the ocean. Topics include an introduction to coastal ecosystems, energy conservation, pollution, estuaries, beach erosion and restoration, litter, recycling, oil spills, shoreline development, and marine debris.
Each unit is packed with activities and spotlights a traditional or not-so-traditional marine career. Real news stories and articles bring the lecture material to life. Includes data sheets and a thought-provoking game to tie it all together at the conclusion of the tour.
