Newsletter Winter '91 (Teacher Manual, CD and Lab Manual have been updated annually, now in its 18th edition, 2009):
"Carol
Matthews has written an excellent laboratory manual for
secondary school and early college level marine science classes
that will complement all marine biology texts written for these
levels.
The
exercises within this manual augment the disciplines of Marine
Biology and Oceanography. Each investigation is written in
a concise, clearly elucidated procedural format. Student observations
are depicted through several means of expression: tables are available
for students to record data; grids are provided for graph construction;
and space is afforded for illustrations. Each experience also
requires students to answer questions and/or complete statements
in a Conclusion and a Discussion section. Clearly drawn and precise
illustrations by Douglas L. Matthews serve as illuminating aids
to student perceptions."
Some
of the titles in the 44 diversified exercises are: Oceanic
Model & Profile Map, Oceanic Contour Mapping, Tide Frequency
and Range, Comparative Study of Sea Water, Oceanographic Field
Techniques, Classification of Marine Organisms, Phytoplankton
and Marine Algae, Comparative Study of Mollusks, Marine Ecological
Relationships, Classification of Beach Sediment, Sea Urchin Embryology,
and Bioluminescence.
These
laboratory investigations will enrich the student's class room
recitations and textbook assignments." (go to aquatic
