Whale Tales and Seashore Sagas: Exploring the Marine Environment Through Inquiry and Literacy


MITS: Cape Cod Region
Professional Development for Grades 3-8 Educators

Date: July 6-10, 2015 (8:30am-3:30pm); Introductory Session on Saturday June, 13, 2015 (8:30am-12:30pm)

Registration Fee: $350/participant; $325/participant for two or more teachers from the same school district

PDPs and Graduate Credit Offered:

This is a multi-day series that will be taking place at locations including the National Marine Life Center, Mass Maritime Academy, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, Thornton Burgess Society, Mass Audubon's Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary and the Marine Biological Laboratory. Participants will:

Investigate the connections between marine science, technology, engineering, math and literacy as you explore Cape Cod's coastal environment. Muck around in a tidal mudflat, sample a saltmarsh, wander through woody upland and view a vernal pond as you deepen your understanding of our local ecosystems.
Learn about local wildlife, coastal habitats and associated scientific research, then practice making literacy connections with naturalists and educators from Mass Audubon's Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary and Thornton Burgess Society.
Visit science laboratories in Woods Hole and a marine animal hospital in Buzzards Bay and witness some of the science and engineering involved in studying the ocean. Then, practice using literacy skills along with scientific inquiry and engineering design in hands-on investigations that you can take back to your classroom. Invigorate your science curriculum with exciting minds-on, hands-on interdisciplinary STEM investigations.
