The Marine Science Institute offers a variety of teacher workshops focusing on marine science, exploring ideas and activities to use in the classroom. Workshops are designed to supplement teacher's backgrounds in marine ecology and to produce lesson plans that bring science into their curriculum. Two choices of workshops are currently available during the regular school year. Our summer workshop includes four days of activities focused on the San Francisco Bay watershed. All workshop participants receive a curriculum packet along with supplemental resources to assist them back in the classroom.
Sponsorships are available.
Each day has a habitat focus complimented by field trips, discovery-based science activities, and marine research techniques. The Workshops are appropriate for teachers K-12. Workshop participants are eligible for a discount on a future Marine Science Institute program. Please call for more information. The afternoon is spent in our Discovery Classroom, exploring curriculum ideas and activities while developing lesson plans that bring science to your curriculum.
