Coast Quiz

Welcome to the COAST Resource Guide. This material, intended for use by teachers to structuring classroom activities, is divided into two sections that reflect the different emphases and requirements of elementary and middle school programs, and high schools. The elementary and middle school section is developed from the award winning Operation Pathfinder, Best of the Best, and is an electronic version of the Resource Guide for Oceanography and Coastal Processes. The high school section is being developed to reflect the structure of the COAST Visualization Web Site. In order to better integrate with high school curricula, this material is structured to reflect the emphasis at that level on math and science. The web site is therefore organized into two realms: physical and chemical parameters and processes, and biota and biotic processes. These are further broken down into various subjects.

These materials are presented in a way that allows for a variety of interactive experiences. They are laid out to allow you to access the information in different ways so that you can find your way through the material in a manner that is comfortable and familiar to you. The navigation bar both shows you where you are in the material and allows you to click on any item to go directly to that area. Pages are designed to be able to print easily.

Please provide us with feedback on your experience with these materials, as well as with suggestions about how to improve these. In addition, we would appreciate submissions of materials which could be incorporated into these resources as we expand this website. All contributors will be given proper credit for their work.
