Classroom BATS Lesson Plans
This page features links to lesson plans created by scientists and teachers involved in Classroom BATS. This page is constantly changing and growing as CBATS participants create additional lesson plans and update already completed lesson plans with new BATS data. The lesson plans are designed to employ BATS oceanographic data to promote inquiry-based learning in grade 5-12 classrooms, and are linked to the appropriate topics in the National Science Education content standards.
