Description
Summary:Integrating robust and relevant earth science content into higher education earth science courses is a primary objective shared by high school, undergraduate, and graduate level educators. Developing a strong educational outreach network to increase accessibility to the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) scientific and technological accomplishments that can be used by earth science educators is acentral outreach objective for the United States Implementing Organization (USIO). To marry these objectives, the Joint Oceanographic Institutions (JOI), through the USIO and the United States Science Support Program (USSSP) has created a Web portal designed specifically for K-16 educators that contains curriculum activities and background materials based on data and samples that have been generated during forty years of scientific ocean drilling.
