OMG–What an opportunity. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Teacher at Sea program invites teachers to apply the ocean and it’s environment. Imagine being onboard a NOAA ship for 12 – 14 days.
There are three different NOAA cruises:
- “Fisheries research ships perform biological and physical science studies in support of fisheries and marine mammal research.
- Oceanographic and atmospheric research ships perform physical science studies in support of physical oceanography, atmospheric studies, and climate research.
- Hydrographic survey ships scan the coastal sea floor with side-scan sonar and sophisticated bottom sounding systems to locate submerged obstructions and navigational hazards for the creation or update of the nation’s nautical charts.”
Interested in this unique opportunity for teachers from K thru college? Application deadline November 30, 2011, for the 2012 season.
