These units dre'ir*nqii ed to serve as points of departure for teachers and students who desireto increase their awareness of the wateil, world of ) . this blue planet. Each unit includes ideas and activities drawn from a variety of content areas so that teachers of many different subjects at the junior, high an,dr middle school levels can make use of them. These units may. .be used in their entirety or used as.idea or activity sources to infuse into the usual curriculum, 1 -1 Our objective is, MI help teachers make learningmore water- relatec-We did not plan a structural sequence of topics for grades 5.9 but rather offer these teachers guides\tind student pages for your consideration. The general focus within these units is the Gulf of Maine. As the th.ilf extends from Cape Cod to Nova Scotia it washes an extremely long and varied coast. We have dredged and seined themes froin the activities, concerns, organisms, vessels and the past of.this vast watery region of North America. We aim to be inclusive rather than exclusive, suggestive rather than factual, and stimulating rather than expert. Our hope is that your students will become more questioning, interested, and critical of watery concerns. We hope your use of these materials will add water back into our culture. It John W.
