Bringing marine science to Canadian classrooms

Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) and Let’s Talk Science are proud to announce the release of four new classroom marine science kits available free of charge to K-9 teachers across Canada.

ONC’s K-12 Ocean Science Activity Developer, Monika Pelz, has compiled three new learning packages, each tailored to a different age group, to update current Lets Talk Science classroom kits. These include “Budding Biologist“ for Grades K-3; “Wonders of Weather” for Grades 4-6; and “Tectonic Rocks" for Grades 7-9.  All of them explore their respective topics through a marine science lens.

The fourth kit, entitled “Budding Marine Biologist,” was created especially for Grades K-3 and may be an introduction to the world of ocean science for many young students.

Promoting Collaboration Between Canada and the UK

Ocean Networks Canada President Martin Taylor will be speaking to ocean science researchers and students at UK’s leading oceanographic research centre—the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) at the University of Southampton, on April 4, 2012.

In 2011, ONC and NOC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to promote research cooperation in areas of shared focus including: technology and applications of underwater vehicles, deep sea benthic biology, ocean biogeochemistry, sensor development and deep sea ecology.

Dr. Taylor will be providing an update on ONC’s programs and future plans, as well as discussing opportunities for future collaboration.

Our thanks to deep sea ecologist, Dr. Henry Ruhl...
