issue of the new century and climate topics will connect your students
with science every day! <span style="color: black;">These topics,

science, and technology, and offer lots of opportunities for hands-on
learning. Studying coastal climate change is especially engaging, as
land, sea and atmosphere interact and affect water, marshes, birds,
fish, and shellfish. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

from Woods Hole science institutions, sample at the shore of a coastal

climate are connected. <span style="color: black;">We’ll sort out
climate fact from fiction, collect data, and design investigations for
students. Participants will receive lesson plans and a resource CD. </span><span
