Marine Science Project: FOR SEA (Grades 7-12)

Marine Science Project: FOR SEA (Grades 7-12). A comprehensive, activity-oriented, marine science curriculum that teaches basic science skills and knowledge on or away from the coast. Approved by JDRP for all students, grades 7-12.

Please see page 7-3 for a description of the grades 1-6 program.

Description By the year 2000, three out of four Americans will live within an hour's drive of the sea or Great Lakes coasts. The impact on these coastal waters will be severe. The nationally validated curriculum materials of FOR SEA are designed to equip students with information necessary to make responsible decisions about the marine environment. FOR SEA provides comprehensive, activity-oriented, marine education curriculum to be used in addition to or in lieu of an existing science program. The magic draw of water provides incentive to teach and learn science. Close proximity to seawater is not necessary to implement this curriculum in the classroom. Curriculum guides are available for the following grade levels: 7-8 and 9-12 (Part I - Physical Oceanography, Part II - Marine Biology and Issues). Each guide contains a teacher background for each activity, student activity and text pages, answer keys for student activities, and a listing of vocabulary words for each unit.
