MARINE-SCIENCE WORKSHOP PLANNED FOR TEACHERS AT LONG MARINE LAB

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SANTA CRUZ, CA--K-12 science teachers are invited to enroll in "Bringing Marine Science to the Classroom," a two-day workshop at the Long Marine Laboratory, a coastal research station run by the University of California, Santa Cruz. Participants will learn how to integrate current marine-science research into their classroom activities at the workshop, which is set for August 1 and 2.

Each morning, UCSC researchers will present current scientific information from fields such as oceanography, coastal processes and geology, environmental toxicology, and marine- mammal studies. In the afternoon, teachers will convene by grade level to learn practical "take back to the classroom" lab activities modeled after the research.

Participants will visit the lab's facilities and will have the opportunity to join a new group of marine-science mentor teachers for continuing programs during the school year.

The registration fee is $90, with a deadline of June 30. Early registration is advised, as enrollment is limited to 35 teachers. Continuing education credit is available through UCSC Extension for an additional fee of $35.

For more information or registration forms, call the Long Marine Lab's education office at 459-3854 or 459-2358.
