Teaching Marine Science on the Bay

Articles in this issue

The Bay as Teaching Tool

Science teachers in Maryland are facing several problems. And the Chesapeake Bay may offer some solutions. A goal of marine educators working around the Bay is to make learning about the estuary a requirement in K-12 schools. Chesapeake Quarterly, Maryland Sea Grant's quarterly magazine, reports on research, extension, education and other Chesapeake Bay issues and activities of interest to the marine community. It is produced and funded by this program, which receives support from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Editors, Michael W. Fincham and Jeffrey Brainard; Science Writer, Daniel Strain; Production Editor and Art Director, Sandy Rodgers. more . . . about The Bay as Teaching Tool

A Slice of Raspberry Pi

Ricky Catron, Tim Bowersox, and Emily Keith spend many mornings in a science lab tucked into a corner of North Carroll High School. Here, you can find a diverse array of equipment: computer monitors, an electronic device called a breadboard that's bursting with wires, and a fish tank complete with a toy tiki hut and a spotted goldfish named Bessie. Chesapeake Quarterly, Maryland Sea Grant's quarterly magazine, reports on research, extension, education and other Chesapeake Bay issues and activities of interest to the marine community.
