Armed with an iPad, I wandered around to see what there was to see, including checking out several shipwrecks.
Terri Kirby Hathaway, North Carolina Sea Grant marine education specialist, had a table with goodies for teachers.
Terri (in green) explains her beach in a box that she fills with beach finds and sends to teachers in the state.
Terri is a blur of activity as she hands out homework assignments to teachers who want to earn CEU credits.
I also saw some other people with Sea Grant affiliations.
Shannon Brown, 2014 Sea Grant/NC Research Reserve fellow, explains her lesson plan that illustrates how spat use sound to help them settle.
Jennifer Dorton, coordinator of the N.C. Sentinel Site Cooperative, recruited teachers for some projects her organization wants to implement.
More scenes from last night.
These two researchers, back to back, explained their lesson plans to teachers — and some curious fish.
Some researchers were in brighter areas that were decorated to reflect an upcoming holiday.
Teachers were encouraged to pick up a paint brush to add to this ocean scene spotlighted at this station.
Next to Terri’s tables, teachers could sign up for a portal with lesson plans and resources from researchers.
If you missed this event — or if you attended and didn’t get enough — consider participating in SciREN Triangle 2015 at the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences.
