Farallones. Teachers and educators who attend our teacher workshops receive this curriculum and all associated classroom activities.

natural history of our local national marine sanctuaries. |

Activity: Monitoring the Intertidal with Life-sized Photos
Scientific methods used in the classroom take on new meaning when students see (and experience) how real science is done by biologists who monitor the environment. In this activity, students use life-sized photos to simulate monitoring along a vertical transect in the rocky intertidal. (Hint: To print photo quadrats, drag image to desktop, open file,
under page setup select legal-sized paper and landscape, then print)
