Broader Impacts 1 year, 4 months agoMore great information, and quite an interesting “conversation.” I think the above advice in the three examples still holds despite the new changes.

Real-Time Data Education: 3 years agoHere is a simple temperature range graph (type = floating column graph) that is a final product of our Bridge/COSEE-NOW data activity: Can’t Take the Heat?, which compares the heat capacity of air vs. water. We’ll take any feedback you have! http://www2.vims.edu/bridge/TipsContent/HeatCapacity/Figure2a.pdf It’s a pdf and for some reason, the axes…[Read more]

Real-Time Data Education: 3 years agoOne I use for business and play is the NOAA National Data Buoy Center (http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov). So many buoys, weather stations, etc. all in one spot! Locally, the Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System (http://www.buoybay.org) has a real simple interface, great data display, and a very powerful graphing utility. Of course, my most recommended…[Read more]

Chris Petrone started the forum topic HF radar/surface currents activity in the group
Real-Time Data Education: 3 years, 1 month agoHey everybody, I’ve been pondering an activity that uses high frequency radar. I did a quick and dirty needs assessment and it appears that Coast Guard search and rescue would be the most interesting approach for students. Does anyone know of existing HF radar/CODAR activities, or activities that look at search and rescue ops? I [...]

Does a can of soda float? Does salt water really make that much difference? What’s a Plimsoll mark? Buoyancy can be a difficult concept for students. It’s all about density! With this hands-on introduction to teaching buoyancy from the Bridge website and COSEE-NOW, students work through activities and demonstrations that use online resources and…[Read more] -

Chris Petrone wrote a new blog post: Catching the $250,000 "Fish" 4 years ago
It was late June. The temperature was 95 degrees with 110% humidity. The monkey was definitely on our backs, as my boss would say. My co-workers and I stood there on the dilapidated VIMS pier with 12 high school science teachers, VIMS scientist Mark Patterson, VIMS technician Todd Nelson, and the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Fetch.

By now everyone has heard that Google recently released its latest and greatest version of Google Earth (version 5.0) complete with an abundance of ocean “stuff:” shipwreck information; video clips; you can even rate kite surfting spots. But what all the articles and news reports have neglected to tell us is that you can spend [...]
