Ocean Science
Professional Development Workshop

These four-day workshops are for teachers of grades 4-5 to explore the dynamic relationships in the marine environment from Puget Sound to the Olympic Coast to the deep ocean. Bring the excitement of marine ecology and ocean science to your students through these hands-on science content courses taking place at Ocean Shores from July 21-24, and Seattle Aquarium from August 4-7, 2009.

These workshops are designed to better prepare teachers to facilitate an inquiry-based, marine science-rich experience necessary to bring students to higher standards and understanding of ocean literacy principles. Participants in these courses will be eligible for free admission to the Seattle Aquarium, and a field trip to a local beach, including free transportation for your class. Registration is required and space is limited. Participants will receive a stipend of $50.00 per day, and graduate credits or clock hours are available.
