FREE Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Teacher Packet
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Teacher Packet
WHOI is a private, nonprofit research facility dedicated to expanding the frontiers of knowledge about the marine world. Most of the funding at WHOI supports its mission of research and higher education (graduate and post-graduate levels). In addition, as resources permit, the institution's Education, Information, and Sea Grant offices, as well as the joint Marine Biological Laboratory/WHOI Library, prepare outreach and curriculum materials for elementary, secondary, and continuing adult education. In response to the high volume of requests for teaching materials from educators, staff from several of the WHOI outreach offices, including Sea Grant, created a packet of educational materials. To receive a teacher packet, you must be an educator - formal or informal - at a school or organization where a program or course work in marine science and/or oceanography is offered. WHOI-E-96-002. Free for educators.

| Thank you very much, Cassandra! As always, I'll enjoy checking out these links! I just got an American Heritage freebie a few days ago that looks great. I just have to wait until I get a new print cartridge to print out the parts I want to use! |

| Your Welcome. I'm glad to hear the the work I am doing is helping out. :-) Please, at any time if these freebies don't turn out to be what they should be, let me know. I do my best to check & double check everything, but I am not perfect & can make mistakes, too. Also, if there is any certain freebies or links that anyone wants me to try to find, please, message me or let me know within our group forum. |
