NOAA Fisheries’ Ocean Media Center and Alaska Fisheries Science Center were recently awarded a 2011 Silver Telly Award for their Microworlds educational videos. The Telly Awards honor the very best local, regional, and cable television commercials and programs, as well as the finest video and film productions, and work created for the Web. The Silver Telly award is the highest honor awarded by the Telly Awards.
Microworlds is a series of three educational videos for fifth-graders featuring different NOAA scientists working with Seattle Washington Public School students, while using a microscope. Through each episode, the series connects real-world science with multiple topics and issues that students and teachers deal with in the classroom. The opening video in this series, “What Do Marine Mammals Eat?” was also an official selection at the 2011 Beneath the Waves Film Festival.
The videos can be seen on the Alaska Fisheries Science Center website:
