Appropriately enough, the Bridge Ocean website is billed as "an ocean of teacher-approved marine education resources." It's the result of a great collaboration between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Virginia Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program. Offered on its homepage are a range of lesson plans, professional development opportunities, and an assortment of Ocean Science Topics. This last area contains educational resources in a variety of fields, including biology, chemistry, and climate/atmosphere. Moving on, Research & DATA Connections offers data sets related to oceanography, ecology, and human activities. Interested visitors can sign up to receive an email newsletter which is appropriately titled, "Scuttlebutt." Users should also take a look at the Teacher Top Pick as it offers some wonderful lesson plans as selected by educators in the field.
