NOAA Teacher at Sea Children's Books
In 2005, The NOAA Teacher at Sea program unveiled its first children's book with the aim to make NOAA science understandable and exciting for students across the country. Since, two more books have been published, with a fourth book to be published in the future.
The first TAS book focuses on oceanographic and atmospheric research. The second book addresses hurricane research, and the third focuses on hydrographic research (mapping of the seafloor). The final book will address fisheries research.
The hard-cover books are written at the middle school science level. Content includes science and math activities, glossaries of terms and full-color images.
Teachers may request a FREE copy by contacting the NOAA Outreach Unit at noaa-outreach@noaa.gov. PDF versions of the books are available to download by clicking on the images or links below. You may need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader to view files.
