Teaching the Ocean System

http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/ocean/

This site brings together data sets, tools, lesson plans, and interactive visualizations to address a number of topics within this broad field of scientific inquiry. On the left-hand side of this page, visitors will find six pertinent sections, including "Teaching Materials" and "Internet Resources." The "Teaching Materials" area includes resources such as a classroom activity designed to help students learn about how climate change impacts tropical cyclone formation and coral bleaching. For those who are perhaps more visually inclined, the "Visualizations" area features helpful animations and illustrations of processes such as coastal wave mechanics and El Nino.
