2.5 hour field trip, $675 for up to 45 participants (includes curriculum notebook and 7 hours of professional development)

Imagine being able to teach 5th grade earth science standards with everything you need to be successful. Does that sound too good to be true? The Ocean Institute's Weather & Water 5th Grade Program promotes inquiry-based science learning through an engaging nine-week classroom science unit and a field trip to the Ocean Institute. This program has been recognized by the National Science Teachers Association as an exemplary science program in its monograph, Exemplary Science in Informal Education Settings: Standards-Based Success Stories.

During the nine-week unit students investigate all of the weather and water cycle standards. The program includes a curriculum notebook with lesson plans for direction instruction, student investigations, GATE activities, homework, and technology lessons; a Science Kit materials list; 7 hours of professional development; and a 2.5-hour field trip at the Ocean Institute.
