Education Resources
To encourage an ocean-literate public and an upcoming generation of marine scientists and engineers, BOEM's Environmental Studies Program-sponsored research results are sometimes used to prepare materials for teachers, including video and audio files. Sample teacher resources are described below.
Tidepool Math:
This award-winning math-based curriculum investigates environmental change in California's rocky intertidal shoreline habitat and has both K-8 and high school material.
Lophelia II: Understanding Deep-Sea Coral Ecology:
This is a problem-based curriculum for Grades 9-12 biology/earth science based on the real-life practice of prioritizing exploratory drilling sites to minimize ecosystem impact.
