1. Use Graphic Novels to Understand Scientific Ocean Drilling and Entice Student Interest Dr. Michael J Passow Earth2Class Workshops for Teachers Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory michael@earth2class.org

2. Scientific Ocean Drilling Started in 1960s and continues today Cores and geophysical data have revealed much about our planet “Leg 3” confirmed theory of plate movements Incomparable for studying paleoclimates, asteroid impacts, oceanic volcanism and seismicity, etc.

3. Deep Earth Academy Education programs to “raise awareness about ocean drilling science and its central role in understanding the Earth’s past, present, and future; teacher science content and process, and inspire careers in science, technology, engineering, and math” Many online educational resources created by JR scientists and “School of Rock” teachers http://joidesresolution.org/node/3002http://joidesresolution.org/node/3002
