Do you require your students to cover their textbooks? Are you tired of seeing cast-off grocery bags coming back to life as book covers? NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has produced a book cover that will make you happy by providing an entry point for inquiry-based ocean science education and, at the same time, satisfying your students' search for adventure. The Discovering the Oceans book cover was designed for students in grades 4-6 (ages 8-12). The front of the book cover provides just the spark they need to imagine themselves ready to dive in to oceanography or other Earth sciences. The back has a cool comic about NASA's use of satellites to study the surface of the ocean and to track marine life. The back also lists online resources for you and/or your students to learn more about NASA and JPL oceanography activities.
In conjunction with the book cover, we have developed the Become a Junior Oceanographer website. Students take a short quiz on oceanography and marine science. When they pass the quiz they can print out their own Junior Oceanographer certificate and their first name and city will be added to the Junior Oceanographers Hall of Fame. And don't worry, the name they print on the certificate will not be stored on our website.
