Cephalopodcast - The Ocean Podcast

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is offering up free ocean science books and resource kits. No word on how long the offer will last.

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, with Turnstone Publishing Group and Steck-Vaughn Publishers, has produced a series of books on eight high-interest areas of ocean science. Thanks to a donation by Harcourt Achieve, we now offer this free resource.

These books explore the ocean from the scientist’s point of view: what makes them curious, how they approach their work, and how they go about answering questions about the ocean. All titles conform to national science teaching standards.

Available as:

• Classroom kits (while supplies last): 30 copies of one title, and a teacher’s resource binder including activities and supplies.
• or, book packages 40 books, (five copies of each title).
