Florida Marine Education Resources Bibliography. Report Number 51, Florida Sea Grant College

This multidisciplinary, annotated bibliography is offered to K-12 teachers, other educators, librarians, concerned parents, and community leaders to simplify locating and acquiring marine education materials and infusing marine subjects into existing curricula. Included are printed materials currently available from commercial publishers, government agencies, or educational institutions. Unpublished materials prepared by teachers for use in their classes are also included. The document is divided into two major sections: five categories of resource materials and three indices to the materials (including author, curriculum area, and application indices). Entries within each of the five categories are generally grouped according to curriculum area and/or application, and then by increasing age of students. The five sections of bibliographic entries are: elementary (with separate listings for grades K-4 and 4-7); secondary (with separate listings for junior/senior high and high school/adult); general reference; library and special interest; and teacher-produced materials. Each entry includes: entry number, title, date, author(s), publisher, address, and annotation. Each annotation includes: key words for curriculum area and application; descriptive paragraph; number of pages or approximate time to complete work; who will use the item; and price range. A suggested K-12 spiral curriculum for science is also included in an appendix. (JN)
