The Science of Oil Spills
The Science of Oil Spills is a curriculum created by Alice Dou-Wang, of the Prince William Sound Science Center. This curriculum is based on 2010's Ocean Science and Learning Expedition, a learning experience for high school teens in Prince William Sound. The expedition was co-sponsored by the council.
Dou-Wang used the council's Alaska Oil Spill Curriculum in her research when creating The Science of Oil Spills.

Where do I go from here? (2006) This DVD interviews students, instructors, professors, and companies in the fields of marine science and seafaring. The goal is to encourage students with interests in these areas to receive education or training, and provide information on ways to accomplish this. |
