At the Commission, we do this regularly by participating in school visits and public outreach events and by involving high school and undergraduate interns in marine mammal science and policy. We are hopeful that these educational resources will be used by teachers during everyday lessons as well as by scientists conducting outreach in the classroom. Each PowerPoint and lesson plan is designed for a different age group (K-12) to tailor the content to the students.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading-two\" class=\"heading-two\" id=\"powerpoint-presentations-lesson-plans\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0PowerPoint Presentations & Lesson Plans<\/h2>\n<h4 id=\"\"><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"heading-two heading-four\" class=\"heading-two heading-four\" id=\"grade-level-k-2\">Grade Level: K-2<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmc.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/MMC-K-2_BT.pdf\">Lesson Plan K-2<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mmc-ppt\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/onedrive.live.com\/embed?cid=96D8D87A72D2C117&resid=96D8D87A72D2C117%21105&authkey=AN-esIPqVdquu1w&em=2&wdAr=1.7777777777777777\" width=\"600px\" height=\"362px\" frameborder=\"0\">This is an embedded <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/office.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Microsoft Office<\/a> presentation, powered by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/products.office.com\/en-us\/office-online\/documents-spreadsheets-presentations-office-online\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Office Online<\/a>.<\/iframe><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h4 class=\"heading-two heading-four\" class=\"heading-two heading-four\" id=\"grade-level-3-5\">Grade Level: 3-5<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmc.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/MMC-3-5_BT.pdf\">Lesson Plan 3-5<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mmc-ppt\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/onedrive.live.com\/embed?cid=96D8D87A72D2C117&resid=96D8D87A72D2C117%21106&authkey=AGtF7bH3n3UTUM8&em=2&wdAr=1.7777777777777777\" width=\"600px\" height=\"362px\" frameborder=\"0\">This is an embedded <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/office.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Microsoft Office<\/a> presentation, powered by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/products.office.com\/en-us\/office-online\/documents-spreadsheets-presentations-office-online\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Office Online<\/a>.<\/iframe><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h4 class=\"heading-two heading-four\" class=\"heading-two heading-four\" id=\"grade-level-6-8\">Grade Level: 6-8<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmc.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/MMC-6-8_BT.pdf\">Lesson Plan 6-8<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mmc-ppt\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/onedrive.live.com\/embed?cid=96D8D87A72D2C117&resid=96D8D87A72D2C117%21107&authkey=AHZqp28GwkDAQEs&em=2&wdAr=1.7777777777777777\" width=\"600px\" height=\"362px\" frameborder=\"0\">This is an embedded <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/office.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Microsoft Office<\/a> presentation, powered by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/products.office.com\/en-us\/office-online\/documents-spreadsheets-presentations-office-online\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Office Online<\/a>.<\/iframe><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h4 class=\"heading-two heading-four\" class=\"heading-two heading-four\" id=\"grade-level-high-school\">Grade Level: High School<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmc.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/MMC-highschool_BT.pdf\">Lesson Plan High School<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mmc-ppt\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/onedrive.live.com\/embed?cid=96D8D87A72D2C117&resid=96D8D87A72D2C117%21108&authkey=AK0iIf9Remeow8g&em=2&wdAr=1.7777777777777777\" width=\"600px\" height=\"362px\" frameborder=\"0\">This is an embedded <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/office.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Microsoft Office<\/a> presentation, powered by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/products.office.com\/en-us\/office-online\/documents-spreadsheets-presentations-office-online\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Office Online<\/a>.<\/iframe><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why education?
