Educators from all the Reserves
worked with NOAA and a contractor, TERC, to develop Estuaries 101, a curriculum
that includes student activities, professional development and training in the use of data from the System Wide Monitoring Program
(SWMP). |
On-line lesson
plans have been developed to meet the needs of upper elementray students and teachers learning the skills outlined in the
Washington State Grade Level Expectations (GLEs).
Our tried and true Curriculum
A series of texts is also available at three grade levels: K-3 (Level I), 4-8 (Level II), and high school (Level III). They
are intended to compliment a visit to Padilla Bay, but are also appropriate for students studying estuaries anywhere in
Washington State. All three use Padilla Bay as the example with a focus on eelgrass and mud flat habitats.
These three texts can be purchased at the Reserve or if you contact the Reserve
they can be mailed and billed to you. Prices vary with production costs.
You can also download the Padilla Bay Curriculum right from this site and print them for free! These documents
are available in Portable Document Format (PDF).
