AB: The Bridge is a growing collection of the best marine education resources available on-line. It provides K-12 educators with a convenient source of accurate and useful information on global, national, and regional marine science topics, and gives researchers a contact point for educational outreach. There are many ways a researcher can become involved in education, from working directly with students to helping develop educational materials. The Bridge facilitates the connection between researchers and teachers by integrating scientific data into a ready-to-use classroom activity. These activities, or Data Tips, focus on a different ocean science topic each month during the school year. Through the Bridge Data Tips, students participate in the scientific process and researchers share their data with a unique audience. Bridge Data Tips that incorporate geophysical ocean science research data will be highlighted in this poster.
