This booklet consists of 16 interdisciplinary lesson plans and ideas that inspire to learn students to learn about the ocean and connect to it via their senses.

Teachers from kindergarten to high school are the primary audience, but this is not only for teachers! We hope people of all ages can be inspired: parents can try some of the ideas out with their children at home, or youth leaders with local youth groups. For example, some of the lessons can be used by older pupils as guides for younger pupils at school or science fairs.

All the lesson plans were developed within the AKMA2 Ocean Senses Research expedition and endorsed by the UN Ocean Decade and by the Challenger 150 programme, which is a global scientific cooperative developed to respond to the needs of the UN Ocean Decade. The lessons are inspired by an idea to connect the ocean and the ocean floor to students and schools via the “senses”.
