The
NOAA
Ocean
Exploration
program
strives
to
engage
broad
audiences
to
enhance
America's
environmental
literacy
through
the
excitement
of
ocean
discovery.
Increasing
this
literacy
requires
high-quality,
effective
collaborations
between
ocean
explorers
and
America's
teachers.
NOAA
is
forming
such
collaborations
to
reach
out
in
new
ways
to
the
public
to
improve
the
literacy
of
learners
with
respect

the
research
of
Dr.
Kim
Holland's
shark

elasmobranch
lab
in
Hawaii.
The
lab
studies
organismic
and
supraorganismic
biology
of
fish,
with
a
specific
focus
on
sharks
and
their
relatives.
The
lab
makes
use
of
its
island
location
to
combine
field
experiments
with
lab
work.
Dr.
Holland's

Researchers
have
identified
approximately
140
individual
impact
craters
on
Earth.
These
craters
probably
represent
only
about
25
percent
of
those
to
be
found.
Assuming
an
equal
rate
of
impact
around
the
globe,
many
more
craters
remain
to
be
discovered,
particularly
in
remote
land
regions
of
our
planet
and
in
the
oceans.
This
activity
uses
satellite
images
of
several
craters
on
the

This
is
a
multimedia
interactive
simulation
that
teaches
students
about
emergency
preparedness,
disaster
safety,
and
weather
and
storm
science.
In
the
simulation,
students
visit
a
Florida
family
and
end
up
preparing
for
and
riding
out
a
hurricane
which
hits
during
the
visit.
Students
can
track
the
storm
on
a
map,
watch
weather
updates,
prepare
emergency
supplies,
and
develop
a
disaster
emergency
plan.
