Marine aquaculture, or “mariculture,” is a growing industry in North Carolina \u2014 one that offers many career avenues. To help acquaint students with the field, North Carolina Sea Grant is offering\u00a0Lessons in Mariculture<\/em><\/a>, an online suite of free lesson plans for high school science classrooms, as well as courses in career and technical education.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe range of information presented in these lesson plans makes them well suited for ninth-grade biology, Advanced Placement environmental science and even agricultural education, among other courses,\u201d says North Carolina Sea Grant coastal economist Jane Harrison<\/a>, who led the project.<\/p>\n

Harrison says she and her team\u00a0designed Lessons in Mariculture<\/a><\/em> to provide a career pathway. Teachers have been integral in developing and testing the lessons, which are aligned with state standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cI especially like the lessons that require the students to put themselves in the mindset of an aquaculture producer,\u201d Harrison says. “For example, if they were to grow oysters in coastal waters, what are the required water quality conditions?\u201d<\/p>\n

Each resource progressively builds off knowledge gained through earlier lessons, but teachers also can pick and choose to suit their curriculum. In addition,\u00a0Lessons in Mariculture<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>come ready-made and are easy to use, with a wide array of\u00a0resources and materials:\u00a0videos, worksheets, hands-on activities, discussion questions, interviews with mariculture producers, classroom presentations and more.<\/p>\n

The lesson-planning team included high school science teacher Amy Sauls, Sea Grant marine education specialist Terri Kirby Hathaway<\/a>, Sea Grant science writer Julie Leibach, former Sea Grant marine aquaculture specialist Chuck Weirich, science illustrator Melissa Smith, and graphic designer Kathy McKee, as well as other teachers who pioneered the plans in their classes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really appreciate the team of middle school and high school teachers that helped develop and field-test the lessons,\u201d Hathaway says. \u201cWe\u2019re looking for more teachers to pilot the lessons in their classrooms and help us improve these activities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hathaway will be sharing Lessons in Mariculture<\/em>\u00a0at the\u00a0SciREN Triangle Networking Event<\/a> on Thursday, Sept. 26, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., at the <\/span><\/span>North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The lesson plans are available here:\u00a0go.ncsu.edu\/mariculture-lessons<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in providing feedback on the lessons, email Terri Hathaway at terri_hathaway@ncsu.edu<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n
