Teachers on Healy During Canada-U.S. Joint Expedition
Two teachers will be aboard Healy for the 2010 continental shelf survey:
Caroline Singler
School: Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School in Sudbury, Massachusetts (west of Boston)
Classes: 9th-grade Earth science, 11th- and 12th-grade aquatic biology
Sponsoring program: NOAA Teacher at Sea Program
Blog: Caroline Singler
Bill Schmoker
School: Centennial Middle School in Longmont, Colorado (north of Boulder)
Classes: 8th-grade Earth Science
Sponsoring program: PolarTREC (funded by NSF and managed by the Arctic Research Consortium of the United States [ARCUS])
Blog: Bill Schmoker
---------------------
Both teachers will be posting journal entries, photos, and possibly videos to their blogs on the sponsoring organizations’ Web sites. Bill’s school will begin while he is at sea, and so his students can follow his blog in “real time.” Caroline’s school will begin after the mission, and she will incorporate her blog entries into classroom activities. Both teachers will use their experiences to develop lessons for their students, to make presentations to other teachers, and to inform their communities about the mission.
Chief Scientist on Healy Brian Edwards plans to involve both Bill and Caroline as much as possible in all the scientific activities on the cruise, such as standing watches in the geophysical lab and helping with deck work during sampling.
