2024 Summer Adventures – Science by the Sea

National Marine Educators Association (NMEA) Conference – Boston, MA

I traveled to Boston, Massachusetts in July 2024 to share a few of the lessons and activities I have developed for various researchers I have been working with the past couple of years. These lessons, and many other lessons, can be found by following my “Science Lessons/Activities” link. Take a glimpse into my week in Boston during the conference using the slideshow (below):

Checked off a Bucket List item with the NY Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox at historic Fenway.
The view from my dorm room at Boston University!! Stellar!!
Earth contains one of the 7 Ocean Worlds in our solar system.
New technologies are being developed to explore the deepest trenches in Earth's ocean.
Two of my lessons were shared via Poster Presentations: Virtual Research Cruise (updated to include info from PUPCYCLE II, which was completed in May 2023) and the Penguin Dynamics activity developed through EARTH.
Shared access points to my "Southern Life" lesson as well as other lessons and activities I provide for educators (FREE lessons!).
I co-presented with 2 more EARTH educators to share lessons using real scientific data for classroom inquiry.
Presented a starter lesson for accessing and using Float Data in the classroom.
Our dinner cruise provided lots of scenic viewing around the Boston Harbor; including Fort Independence...
... Boston's diverse skyline...
... the USS Constitution and Beacon Hill...
... and, a fleet of fishing vessels docked portside.
