A project supported by aNOAA Office of Education Environmental Literacy Grant
Educational Applications of the NOAA Science on a Sphere at the National
Maritime Center
2NOAA SOS Workshop – January 22, 2007, Maryland Science Center
• Develop and implement science education programs utilizing SOS
• Create “state of the art” science displays for SOS integrated with high quality education materials aligned with national standards – UW-Madison
• Focus will be on global oceanic and atmospheric circulations and their effect on the local environment
• Enable public awareness of environmental events
• Utilize expansive UW environmental satellite data base
Project Objectives
3NOAA SOS Workshop – January 22, 2007, Maryland Science Center
• Install KIOSKS to enable viewer to move from global to regional scale and learn about the
environmental processes being displayed – UW-Madison
• Education Focus: Earth environmental phenomena (e.g., Hurricanes, El Nino/La Nina)
• Develop online Problem Based Learning (PBL) modules
• Provide faculty speakers and graduate student docents to TNMC Nauticus
• Expose students to NOAA career paths by Promoting science topics germane to NOAA
Project Objectives cont.

5NOAA SOS Workshop – January 22, 2007, Maryland Science Center
HU Develop and Implement Education Materials and Activities for NOAA’s Science On a Sphere
Plan and coordinate (with the STARBASE Atlantis Hampton Roads group) field trip experiences for ~1200 Portsmouth city 6’th grade students to interact with the SOS at TNMC.
– Portsmouth Public school system has a large concentration of under-served students.
– This activity is led by HU graduate student docents who serve as excellent role models.
Leveraging existing NASA and NOAA Education and Outreach Programs managed by HU to include SOS Education Materials
Development of an online Problem-Based Learning Module that incorporates SOS data visualizations
Examples include:

7NOAA SOS Workshop – January 22, 2007, Maryland Science Center
Calipso Cloudsat And Globe Educators Workshop
In July, 2006, Middle school teachers from around the country, France, Canada, and Puerto Rico were treated to an SOS field trip. They were CCAG participants.
10NOAA SOS Workshop – January 22, 2007, Maryland Science Center
• HU and Bob Myers of the Institute for Global and Environmental Strategies lead the development of an online PBL
•The PBL will support exploration of the environmental scenarios displayed via the SOS and focus on Atlantic basin hurricanes
• The PBL will be similar to the ones developed by HU for the CALIPSO satellite mission’s education and outreach program (EPO)
• Each PBL will include a teachers guide. Examples of HU’s PBL’s are displayed online: http://calipsooutreach.hamptonu.edu
Online Problem-Based Learning Module (PBL)
11NOAA SOS Workshop – January 22, 2007, Maryland Science Center
Dr. Ruby Beale and Ms. Diana Cooper (HU Business School)
Develop and execute an educational marketing needs assessment
Develop an Educational Marketing Program with Community Partners
Increase the exposure and interest in the SOS program to diverse audiences
Increase the diversity of participants who attend the SOS exhibit
Increase the awareness of NOAA’s contribution to the quality of life and learning
Business Marketing Component
12NOAA SOS Workshop – January 22, 2007, Maryland Science Center
Mentor a graduate student of business interested in pursuing “the use of SOS for marketing government and commercial weather services”, as a thesis topic
Use SOS related graphics in HU atmospheric science courses to promote science topics germane to NOAA
Provided HU graduate student docent support for TNMC SOS exhibit– Teachers attending the National CALIPSO 2006 Educator
Workshop, at HU, visited the SOS at TNMC as part of their field experience.
– Will support field-trips consisting of ~1200 6’th graders from the Portsmouth city school system
– HU graduate students also present SOS materials in business courses as part of the marketing needs assessment
– HU graduate students serve as SOS docents on Saturdays
• Excellent Role-Models for diverse audiences
