Are you interested in Great Lakes science? In teaching with real research data? Come learn how to use Great Lakes data in your science classroom. We'll walk you through web-based water data sets, guided inquiry tools, and lessons about fish habitat, climate, and dead zones. All these tools are available at greatlakeslessons.com, a website with resources on a broad range of Great Lakes topics in the earth, physical, and life sciences. Great Lakes Lessons: Teaching with Great Lakes Data is part of a research and education effort supported by Michigan Sea Grant (University of Michigan and Michigan State University), Eastern Michigan University, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Great Lakes Observing System, the Center for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence-Great Lakes, and the NOAA-Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory.

We look forward to seeing you at the workshop!
