Comments and Teaching Tips given for Project NOPP Drifters Comment on this resource

May 10, 2005
In reviewing this resource I found it to be a very interesting and exciting way to explore ocean drifters. This resource provided plenty of excellent background information along with exciting current data of ocean drifters that scientists are studying now. I especially thought that the "Track a NOPP Drifter," lesson would be an excellent lab to administer to students at a high school or even college level. It would challenge them and give them some insight of what the work of a scientist is actually like! I would suggest maybe trying to develop similar lessons for lower level science students.
