THE CARTERET COUNTY MARINE SCIENCE PROJECT OFFERS THE SCIENCE TEACHER THE MEANS OF PROVIDING A DIRECTED DISCOVERY, FIELD-ORIENTED APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF OCEANOLOGY. SPECIALISTS PROVIDE AUDIO-VISUAL MATERIALS, AND DO THE PLANNING, ORGANIZATION, AND DIRECTION OF PRACTIAL FIELD EXPERIENCES. FOLLOWING THE FIELD EXPERIENCE, A MARINE SCIENCE PROJECT REPRESENTATIVE WILL USUALLY RETURN TO THE CLASSROOM TO REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS OF THE TRIP, DISCUSS ANSWERS TO FIELD PROBLEMS PREVIOUSLY PRESENTED, AND ESTABLISH AREAS WHICH MIGHT PROFITABLY BE INVESTIGATED ON FUTURE FIELD EXERCISES. THE MARINE SCIENCE PROJECT ALSO PROVIDES THE INDIVIDUAL TEACHER WITH A SOURCE OF A WIDE RANGE OF OCEANOLOGICAL MATERIALS, IN ADDITION TO A COMPLETE LIBRARY AND PERIODICAL FILE. (DA)
