The 2008 EARTH workshop is cosponsored by MBARI,
the Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Educaton (C-MORE),
and NASA Astrobiology Science and Technology for Exploring Planets (ASTEP).

Dates July 20-25, 2008
Location

Oregon State University (Corvallis)
Audience K-12 educators
Opportunities Teachers involved in this workshop will:
  • Learn about cutting edge marine science and technology, ocean observatories and the data that they collect
  • Explore current scientific studies that use oceanographic data and how that data has changed our way of thinking about the oceans
  • Develop new curriculum that uses real science and near-real-time data to teach science content and process and addresses their needs and the needs of their students
  • Be part of a program that integrates the use of near-real-time data and real science into classrooms at a national level
  • Experience a rich opportunity for professional collaboration and receive classroom resources, and a modest stipend ($100/day). We ask that the participants arrange their own travel, reasonable costs will be reimbursed.
Objectives The program provides opportunities for teachers to:
  • Use real world science and cutting edge research
  • Implement and use real-time microbial oceanographic data
  • Implement new teaching strategies and standards-based activities
  • Explore conservation issues
