Jude Apple posted an update in the group Traditional Ecological Knowledge 1 week, 5 days ago
Thanks everyone for a great workshop at LHS this week. As promised, I have uploaded the instructional modules I have been working on that focus on integrating Native and Western Science into ocean science education. I have also uploaded a PDF of the poster summarizing our work in this area that was displayed at LHS during our workshop.

I’m the Curator of Ecology at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. I am also a marine ecologist with an focus on kelp forest ecosystems. I’m going to be part of the University of Southern California COSIA course this coming fall and wanted to see what I can pick up from others who have been doing this for a while.

Session Overview This session uses a series of demonstrations to illustrate the causes of ocean circulation—both at the surface of the ocean and in the deep ocean. There are three demos: 1) wind: wind moves water at the surface of a small tank; 2) temperature: in a tank of room-temperature water, cold water sinks and [...]

The National Academies Press published two books that we recommend to use as textbooks for Communicating Ocean Sciences to Informal Audiences. Surrounded by Science was written for informal educators and is appropriate for undergraduate students. Learning Science in Informal Environments is the research version of the book and is better suited for graduate students. Both [...]
