FLOW: Top Pick for Education Curriculum

Michigan Sea Grant’s online curriculum, Fisheries Learning on the Web (FLOW), was selected by educators as a top pick for February 2006 on the BRIDGE, a collection of the best marine education resources available online. FLOW received top marks in three categories evaluating educational value, content value, and usability.

“This is one of the best sites I’ve been asked to review,” noted one teacher-reviewer. “The layout/design is really easy to read and follow. I appreciate the fact that the national standards / benchmarks are listed...”

Geared toward educators and students in grades 4-8, Project FLOW features 15 downloadable lessons covering the aquatic food web and invasive species, water quantity and quality, and Great Lakes fisheries and careers. Each lesson is aligned with state and national educational standards for science and social studies.
FLOW is among the supplemental resources provided in a statewide environmental education effort coordinated by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.
