The
exercises
presented
in
this
paper
are
part
of
a
"minds
on"
rather
than
a
"hands
on"
approach.
They
are
intended
to
complement
"hands
on"
activities
and
introduce
students
to
another
aspect
of
scientific
inquiry.
The
exercises
require
students
to
analyze
large
sets
of
real
data,
to
evaluate
the
data
critically,
to
observe
patterns
and
anomalies,
to
make
inferences
and
predictions
based
on
the
data,

This
paper
describes
the
Gulf
Stream
Voyage,
an
Internet-based
multidisciplinary
project
which
utilizes
both
real
time
data
and
primary
source
materials
to
help
guide
students
to
discover
the
science
and
history
of
the
Gulf
Stream.
There
are
several
advantages
of
using
real
time
data
in
the
classroom,
including:
the
infusion
of
inquiry-based
learning;
fostering
problem
solving
skills;

Teaching
methods
that
are
often
recommended
to
improve
the
learning
environment
in
college
science
courses
include
cooperative
learning,
adding
inquiry-based
activities
to
traditional
lectures,
and
engaging
students
in
projects
or
investigations.
Two
questions
often
surround
these
efforts:
1)
can
these
methods
be
used
in
large
classes;
and
2)
how
do
we
know
that
they
are
increasing
student
learning?

This
paper
describes
the
author's
modifications
to
an
introductory
college
oceanography
class
of
forty-eight
students
in
order
to
add
field-based
projects
as
a
significant
component
of
the
course.
The
field-based
focus
serves
as
the
major
theme
around
which
lecture
topics
and
lab
activities
are
designed
and
implemented.
Students
learn
oceanographic
concepts
in
lecture
and
