JOIDES Resolution in your classroom LIVE

Alejandra Martinez teaches 7th grade science at Memorial Junior High. She is an extraordinary educator and has a real passion for science. This year she will be sailing aboard the drilling vessel the JOIDES Resolution as their Education and Outreach Officer this December and January.  The JOIDES does deep sea core drilling and collects sediment to learn about Earth's past, present, and future.  The drilling site we will be working at is off the coast of Madagascar. 
As Education and Outreach Officer she will be running their social media sites and hosting live ship to shore interactions with classrooms around the world. 

This year she is eager to share this experience with teachers and students at a campus level. Participants will get to see what life is like on a ship and they will get to view what scientists are doing live on the ship. A session lasts up to 45 minutes and can be tailored to your interest and grade level. In order to do this you will need to contact your administrator sign up for an interaction with Expedition 359.

Ask your campus principal about a live ship to shore interaction with the students at your school! Learn more about the JOIDES on their main webpage www.joidesresolution.org.
