From Crazy Ideas to Scientific Tools
Description:
Who says scientists don't need to be creative? Studying ocean animals can be hard! To learn about the lives of animals like sharks, sea turtles, and dolphins scientists have had to create new technologies and ways to study them - or film them. Join Dr. Mike Heithaus and Patrick Greene as they take you on a journey of discovery.
They will tell stories about the cool technologies they have used to unravel the inner workings of ecosystems and study and film the oceans' most incredible predators. Cameras animals wear, 360 cameras, ridiculous shark cages, shark lollipops and a jello dolphin are just some of the tools they have used. Some have been incredible successes. Some, not so much. Woven into the stories of these successes - and failures - you will hear about how scientists ask and answer questions to reveal insights that are critical to protecting our oceans and the animals that call them home.

Math Walks:
Inquiry-Based Learning Experiences That Engage All Students
Description:
How can you use everyday settings like parks, playgrounds, and neighborhoods to get students engaged and excited about Math? In this webinar, Dr. Koshi Dhingra, founder and CEO of the nonprofit organization talkSTEM, will explore place-based learning strategies that engage students in real-world, inquiry- and observation-based learning experiences. Starting with quick virtual Math walks, Dr. Dhingra will then share how teachers can develop walk stops on their own campuses — and even help students to create their own Math walks. She will also show how each walk is closely connected to essential curricular concepts, strengthening both student engagement and student achievement.

Tracking Sharks: From California's White Sharks to the Caribbean's Predators
Description:
Emily Spurgeon grew up far from the ocean, but her curiosity about sharks led her on a journey across the country and into a career in marine science. She began her research in California, where she worked on novel studies of juvenile white shark movements using drones, underwater robots, and acoustic tags. Flash forward to today, Emily investigates how large, threatened shark species use their habitats in Florida and The Bahamas. Her story shows how a passion for the ocean—and a lot of creative science along the way—can turn a dream into a career.
