  • In this recorded professional learning session, Lyn Rogers and Steve Hathaway from Young Ocean Explorers introduce some exciting marine teaching and learning resources and:

    • chat about Steve’s work as an underwater cameraman, his passion for the ocean and the importance of studying the marine environment
    • explore resources that support learning at all ages about different aspects of marine science – specifically from Young Ocean Explorers, the Science Learning Hub and the Department of Conservation
    • discuss how we can use these resources to engage our students in learning about the marine environment.

    This was well worth it Steve – stories are so fantastic. It would be great to use your ‘stories’ for engagement with students.

    Nature of science

    This webinar looks at a range of resources that teachers and students can use in their inquiries about topics related to marine studies. Inquiry is a fundamental process underpinning the nature of science. Exploring socio-scientific issues and taking action where appropriate is the basis of the participating and contributing strand of the nature of science in the NZC.

    Activity ideas

    There are a variety of activities on the Hub that help students to get involved in marine science. These include Build a marine food-web, Making and using a quadrat and Introducing biodiversity. The Ethics thinking toolkit is also a great way of supporting students to engage with issues affecting New Zealand’s marine ecosystems.

    Related content

    There is a huge range of articles and teacher PLD resources to support both students and teachers on various aspects of marine science. These include Investigating life in the sea – introduction, Marine habitats, Classifying marine organisms, Project Hotspot – using citizen science to better protect coastal threatened species, Seaweek resources and Topic planners – marine resources.

    The Connected article Sea science uses a Great Barrier Island citizen science project as the context to explore marine debris and the dangers it poses to marine life. It also provides a useful framework for schools that are considering the undertaking of a similar project.

    Acknowledgement
