2018 GEOTPATHS cruises and workshops

HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE TEACHERS:

Apply for the NSF Sponsored: GEOPATHS  Oceanographic Research Voyage and Curriculum Development Workshop

July 26^th-Aug. 3^rd, 2018; San Diego, CA

California State University, Bakersfield in collaboration with the University of San Diego and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography are recruiting high-school teachers to participate in a new marine science curriculum development program. Participants will be active members of an oceanographic research voyage and collect research samples using the latest technologies aboard a Scripps Institution of Oceanography research vessel. Data and samples collected on these cruises will be used to develop “exportable oceanography lab exercises” available to schools across the country. On all voyages, teachers will be active participants in the research effort, from securing research gear and setting up lab equipment on the ship to helping to deploy and recover sample collecting devices. Discover what it is like to sail with marine scientists conducting cutting-edge science. Feel the thrill of anticipation as you help recover sampling devices that collected creatures and sediments from the bottom of the ocean. Use these unique experiences to inspire your students.
