She's back!

... with the 2003 version of Dr. Vi Lien's widely used Investigating the Marine Environment classroom supplement.

Now it's Investigating the Marine Environment in the 21st Century, a 13-part resource unit designed for both traditional and integrated science courses. The book also provides marine activities for social studies, language arts and mathematics courses or for interdisciplinary thematic units. Even better, it is correlated to TEKS in these subjects and the book also meets national standards in these fields.

The teacher is the key to the use of this marine resource manual. The activities are not worksheets or cookbook laboratory activities but rather are guides to inquiry or problem solving. Teachers can use this book to help students become marine "literate" and develop skills for the 21st century.

The 830-page book comes shrinkwrapped and three-hole punched. A cassette tape, specified in one activity, and shipping are included in the $20 price.
