The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution has created this website to bring together a range of educational materials for teachers. Given their wonderful work in oceanography and related fields, it makes sense that they have dozens of fact sheets, worksheets, classroom modules, and outreach projects to share. The materials are divided into six areas including Information Packets, Ocean Explorer Magazine, Ocean Instruments, and Citizen Science Projects. Within Ocean Instruments visitors can explore how a wide range of specialized ocean research instruments work, including gravity corers, marine magnetometers, and a towed camera system. Moving on, the Ocean Explorer section contains fascinating articles designed for young people. The pieces cover remote-sensing, plate tectonics, and wave motion. Make sure to check out the Citizen Science Projects as well, which covers sites created in partnership with a range of groups, including Zooniverse and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
