Coral Reef Watch curriculum now available online

logo for STAR - Best Products of 2006

The Remote Sensing and Coral Reefs curriculum is available to a national audience via the website of NOAA's Coral Reef Watch. In the summer of 2004, 5th grade teacher Margaret "Peggy" Koenig created a curriculum unit for NOAA Coral Reef Watch. The set of 7 lesson plans focuses on the application of remote sensing to monitoring of coral reefs and was designed for advanced students in fourth to sixth grades or in middle school classrooms. While designed to be taught in sequence, many of the lessons can stand alone as individual classroom activities. See the curriculum here.
