60 teachers from around Florida met for a Day of Discovery at Sea World. Led by Justin Karkow and hosted by FloridaDENLC, teachers learned how to Geocach, learned about http://edu.glogster.com, were given the task to go into the park and learn about an animal and come back and create a glog about it. Cheryl W., Tom B., and Chris B., and I chose sharks. Our new partner in crime – Denny followed us around the park and helped us to create our glog on sharks. Check it out at http://ascienceteacher.edu.glogster.com/Dennys-DOD/

Can’t believe that it is already November. I can say that it’s hard to believe because the temperature in Florida has not felt like November (or even October for that matter) November brings the second quarter and our lessons on Energy. If you are looking for Energy Links or Lessons, go to my web page http://ascienceteacher.wikispaces.com to see what we are up to. Happy November Everyone!

“Could you imagine a world without fish? The documentary A Sea Change asks you to imagine just that.

Directed by Barbara Ettinger, and co-produced by Ettinger and Sven Huseby, A Sea Change explores current research on ocean acidification and the importance of wide-spread awareness on the topic.

The story follows co-producer Sven, who is also a retired educator and concerned grandfather, as he sets out to learn more about ocean acidification and how to garner public attention to this important cause.

To start, Sven travels to ancestral sites in Norway and Alaska. Here he takes a look at ocean acidification research that is already underway. As he learns more about the issue, it becomes clear that dramatic changes in the ocean’s chemistry could pose a serious threat to fish and human survival.

In this compelling documentary, Sven’s adventurous and surprising journey takes an honest look at a reality humans must face to save the oceans for future generations.”
