Education And Research: Testing Hypotheses (EARTH)

What is EARTH?

EARTH uses near-real-time data from ocean observatories to design and test outreach with the Internet as an interface to scientists, teachers, students, and the public. Click here for more information on the EARTH program.

EARTH 2012 • July 8– July 13 • University of North Carolina, Wilmington• Hosted by MBARI and SECOORA

July 8th–July 13, 2012: We are currently soliciting applications for the 2012 EARTH workshop to be held at UNCW. The focus of the 2012 workshop will be on ocean observatories and South East Coastal Research.

A requirement of the application process is to trial an EARTH lesson, complete the feedback rubric (word version), and mail the rubric to George Matsumoto (mageATmbariDOTorg). The application should include your completed rubric and a short cover letter stating what grade level(s) and topic(s) you teach and why you would like to be selected for this workshop. Ten of the twenty participants will be from SECOORA states (North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia). Applications are due by March 21, 2012 and selections will be made by early April.

Featured Activity: Crossing the Pacific

tsunami graph What is really under the salt water in our worldwide oceans? This four-part activity will guide students to explore, investigate, and analyze our mysterious ocean floors. Students will learn to navigate through Google Earth to find and utilize data points, graph them electronically, and produce a 3-D model of the topographical features on the ocean floor from one point to another.

Previous Featured Activity: Studying Tsunami

When large earthquakes displace a significant volume of ocean water, large waves are generated that can propagate great distances across the ocean. Use these links and activities to learn more!
