 Island Explorers
"The lesson plan page provides engaging activities for elementary and middle school students in topics such as physical oceanography, ocean organisms and their interactions, and human impact on the ocean. Thorough background information provided for teachers in each lesson plan, along with recommendations for making the activities work with ideal materials as well as substitutions if those items aren't available. Extension activities are provided for most lessons, too. Great site! "

R.M.S. Titanic 100 Years Later
The sinking of the RMS Titanic on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City remains one of the most powerful events of the early 20th century. More than 2,200 people were aboard the ship and nearly three-quarters of them perished.
Since the wreck's discovery, NOAA has been involved in protecting and preserving the site — from participating in exploration and scientific missions to negotiating international agreements.
Visit this NOAA site to learn more and to access Titanic articles and resources, including slide shows, lesson plans and career information.
