Lesson Plans
Introduction
This curriculum development project was funded by The Russell Family Foundation. Five teachers attended a ten-day workshop in July 2006 to learn about estuary science. Thery then created lessons to teach estuary science to their students. These provide students in upper elementary with a variety of learning experiences to improve science skills described in the Washington State Essential Learning Requirements (EALRs) for Science and relevant Grade Level Expectations (GLEs). These science education reform tools rely heavily on the "systems approach" and these lessons explore estuary systems. An estuary can be a valuable food source for people and other organisms Applying Scientific Methods to Solve a Pollution Problem Investigation of the relationship between nutrients and dissolved oxygen using aquarium models Density and temperature changes in estuary water Salish Sea Geography and Tides - A Web Search Back to Padilla Bay Reserve Home Page Last modified August, 2007 |
