7th Grade- Polar Zones and Coral Reefs

The 7th grade materials are still in draft form and are in need of teachers to pilot the materials and provide feedback. Taft Jr/Sr and Toledo Jr/Sr middle school teachers have already agreed to assist in this endeavor but if other folks are interested, we'll take as much feedback as possible. If you do use the materials, please complete the scoring rubric for the lesson plans (see file at bottom of page) and submit to the Oregon Coast Aquarium, attn: Rachael Bashor, 2820 SE Ferry Slip Rd, Newport, OR 97365 or e-mail at rachael.bashor@aquarium.org.

These lesson plans are in a rough draft format. If there are materials or information missing, please contact rachael.bashor@aquarium.org. We have done our best to try to make them as complete as possible, but there may have been some mistakes.
