Tidepool Math: A curriculum for K-8 and High School that teaches basic math and science principles through the eyes of a tidepool. Beautiful flashcards, photos of scientists collecting data, and teacher curriculum can be downloaded from this site. Watts it to you? Explore ways to make Golden County energy self-sufficient through inquiry, cooperative problem-solving and negotiation. Trying to compare energy types is a challenge. The purpose of this project is to convert various energy sources used in California into common units so that they can be compared readily. The amount of space occupied by each facility or unit is provided so that you can compare their land. These assumptions and calculations for the numbers used in the bookmark are provided in this paper.
Submarine Oil Seep Lesson: Porosity and natural oil and gas seeps. How Many Does It Take?, lists for kids various types of energy sources produced from nuclear plants, hydroelectric dams, offshore gas production, onshore gas wells, wave turbines, wave plants and solar panels, and how much of these many energy resources it takes to power a city of 100,000 people or to fuel cars for 100,000 people for a year.

wave earth bulletPosters

This Poster depicts many of the forms of animal marine life that grow on and around the thousands of oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. The poster demonstrates that marine life and Federal offshore production not only coexist, but that the manmade offshore structures provide an artificial reef system that fosters and intensifies marine life in areas where it might not otherwise proliferate. Educational poster summarizing three ongoing research projects that study habitats found beneath California offshore platforms. This poster can be obtained at no charge from the Minerals Management Service, Pacific OCS Region, Attn: Public Information Office, MS 7000, 770 Paseo Camarillo, Camarillo, CA 93010.
