This online clearinghouse of ocean-related content for K–12 educators is a partnership of the National Sea Grant Office, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, and the National Marine Educators Association.
The site offers such resources as background information on various ocean science topics; lesson plans using authentic marine science data sets; information about marine careers, internships, and summer activities for students; and professional development opportunities for formal and informal educators.
Of particular interest is the Bridge DATA Series, lessons that provide opportunities for students to work with authentic scientific data and learn how ocean data is collected and analyzed. Teachers will also appreciate the Bridge Infographic Gallery, a collection of more than three dozen infographics presenting facts and information on ocean themes such as coral bleaching, marine debris, threats to coral reefs, gathering environmental information from the worlds’ oceans, plastics in the oceans, sharks, and humpback whales.
