Sounds of the Ocean

JASON Learning and the Navy are collaborating to develop "Sound in the Ocean", a digital, middle-to-high school curriculum module on sound and acoustics. This module will introduce these topics by exploring the work of professionals that use acoustics in fields as diverse as the music industry, national security, fisheries, and high tech, and will provide a range of digital and off-line learning activities to develop key concepts and skills. Access to the module will be free to early-adopter teachers through a grant from ONR (Office of Naval Research).

We are in the process of designing this module, with the goal of making it valuable and accessible to as many teachers as possible. To help us achieve this, we want to understand what the key gaps and challenges are for you in this area of instruction.
