Written by Carol L. Matthews, M. Ed. Reviewed by Joel Teret, Pres., New York State Marine Education Assn., Reprint from Ripples Newsletter:

"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."
