\n\t\tNARRAGANSETT, R.I. \u2013 April 20, 2015 \u2013 Rhode Island educators interested in marine science are invited to apply to participate in a three-day oceanographic expedition aboard the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s research vessel Endeavor in August. <\/p>\n


\n\tUp to 12 educators from kindergarten through college will live and work aboard the 185-foot ship from August 17 to 19 and learn various research techniques for studying the biology, physics, chemistry and geology of the sea.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re hoping to provide teachers with a much greater appreciation for how science is accomplished, the challenges of working at sea, and the excitement of oceanographic research,\u201d said David Smith, associate dean of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Graduate School of Oceanography, who is coordinating the expedition. \u201cThere\u2019s a big difference between reading about science and actually taking part in it, so this opportunity will allow educators to expose their students to science in a way they might not be able to do otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tThis will be the first time that so many Rhode Island educators have participated together in a research expedition aboard Endeavor. For many years, the Rhode Island Teacher at Sea program has placed one or two K-12 teachers at a time aboard research vessels, but never before has an entire expedition been opened up to broader educator participation.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThis is the type of experience that rarely crosses an educator’s desk, and we encourage applications from any educator in the state, formal or informal, to take advantage of this unique opportunity to experience oceanographic science firsthand,\u201d said Maryann Scholl, coordinator of the Graduate School of Oceanography\u2019s Narragansett Bay Classroom and Teacher-at-Sea programs.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe expedition is funded by the Rhode Island Endeavor Program, a state-funded effort to provide 溏心vlog免费B站 researchers and local educators with access to the scientific research and educational capabilities of an ocean-going research vessel.<\/p>\n


\n\tTo apply to participate in the August expedition, educators should visit Rhode Island Teacher-at-Sea<\/a>. For more information, contact Maryann Scholl at 401-874-6500 or mscholl@uri.edu. Application deadline is May 31.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
