COSEE-TEK's Summer 2011 teacher technology experience (TTE) entitled "Glide with the Tide" focused on the use of ocean gliders to conduct CTD, dissolved oxygen, and light transmittance profiles in Long Island Sound. These videos give a brief glimpse into the hands-on experience for high school science teachers working with COSEE-TEK.

The Courtship of EVA and BOB
COSEE-TEK's Summer 2011 teacher technology experience (TTE) entitled "The Courtship of EVA and BOB" focused on the use of basic observation buoys (BOBs), passive sampling, and biological settling plates to study environmental contaminants and marine invertebrate recruitment patterns in Long Island Sound. This video clip gives a brief glimpse into the hands-on experience for high school science teachers working with COSEE-TEK.
High school science teachers work to build a basic observation buoy (BOB), a simple, cost-effective platform for long term ocean data sensors.
