Information covering important topics for today's educators and parents. Students and teachers at the F. Douglass Elementary School in Philadelphia took three field trips to the shore, and their research, observations, and reports are included on this Web site. The first field trip describes how students compared the sand along the seashore to the soils found in their schoolyard. The second group collected rocks and minerals for study, and the third group collected samples of the ocean water and the bay water. The site presents student findings and artwork as well as a variety of related links to help visitors learn more about seaside ecosystems and undersea life, ocean tides and currents, and careers in marine science and oceanography.
Additional links provide classroom activities and other ideas for teachers.
