Estuary-Net Project

is a project developed by the National Estuarine Research Reserve System in response to water quality issues arising in coastal areas. This project strives to develop collaborations among high schools, community volunteer water quality monitoring groups, local officials and government agencies to solve non-point  source pollution problems in estuaries and their watersheds. The project has multiple components to assist citizen volunteer water quality monitors, and classroom teachers and students in understanding regional water quality issues.

"NOVA scienceNOW"

is the companion website for a TV show on science breakthroughs & personalities. Learn about a frog that freezes solid in winter & comes back to life in spring. Watch videos about robot "swarms" that work together on a task, a newly discovered system in the brain, tools for predicting hurricane's intensity, & why some sand dunes burp, sing, & croak. A teacher's guide & transcript are included. The show is hosted by Robert Krulwich & airs five times a year. (NSF)
