[SEMCO] High School Teachers' Professional Development Opportunity

[Kathy Zagzebski]

There's still a few spaces left!

Investigate the connections between marine science, engineering, and
literacy as you explore investigations to bring the next generation science
and engineering practices into your high school curriculum. Learn how
engineers and scientists work together to develop innovative technology and
methods to explore the ocean and the plants and animals that live in its
diverse habitats. Explore the coastal environment as you investigate life
between the tides. Investigate the impact of water quality on the tiny
organism at the base of the food web and how this impacts marine mammals,
sharks and other creatures. Become part of a research team investigating the
mystery of a toxic plankton bloom or fish kill. Find out how robotics are
helping scientists track sharks and learn more about shark biology and
populations and build your own robotic shark to take back to your classroom.
Spend a day in Woods Hole sampling the waters of Vineyard Sound and meet
with WHOI scientists in their research labs. Visit a marine animal hospital
to witness the science and technology involved in wildlife rehabilitation.
Discover marine mammal and sea turtle characteristics and adaptations that
have led to impressive technologies we use every day. Learn how to find and
use real time research data and engage your students in citizen monitoring
projects. Uncover the technology used in tracking programs of birds, marine
mammals and sea turtles. Explore examples of how science provides engineers
with the foundations to create solutions to real world problems as you
immerse yourself in inquiry-based investigations and develop a portfolio of
resources you can use in the high school classroom.
