OCEAN SCIENCE TEACHING RESOURCES

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is now offering eight ocean science books and resource kits, FREE* to teachers.

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, with Turnstone Publishing Group and Steck-Vaughn Publishers, has produced a series of books on eight high-interest areas of ocean science. Thanks to a donation by Harcourt Achieve, we now offer this free resource.

Topics include: DOLPHINS! THE GULF STREAM! THE ARCTIC! and more!

These books explore the ocean from the scientist’s point of view: what makes them curious, how they approach their work, and how they go about answering questions about the ocean. All titles conform to national science teaching standards.

Available as:
—Classroom kits (while supplies last): 30 copies of one title, and a teacher’s resource binder including activities and supplies.
OR
—Book packages 40 books, (five copies of each title).
