Education Flow Chart

The National Ocean Service (NOS) has released a new multimedia education program that teaches children about charting and navigation called Nautical Charts: Message in a Bottle. Part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOS launched the online program at the annual meeting of the National Science Teachers Association in Boston, Massachusetts where thousands of teachers exchanged the latest research and findings related to science education.

In an Agency press release, NOAA Director of Education Louisa Koch says of the project, "NOAA is delighted to be able to make available another marine science elementary educational tool. We are working hard at expanding our offerings so that marine science activities can become an increasing part of our nation's science educational efforts at all levels."
