Investigations Manual Highlight
|
| Investigations 13A, 13B,
14A, 14B, 15A, and 15B (corresponding to text chapters 13, 14, and 15) are
designed for use at any point during the term, including the beginning. These
investigations may be used at the discretion of the instructor to bring the
local course and AMS real-time delivery schedules
into alignment.) Current Ocean Studies for these floating chapters are
posted in mid-August and available all year.

AMS Ocean Studies
Investigations Manual
 |
- Investigations lead students through the analysis
and interpretation of real-world ocean data
- Two investigations per textbook chapter, a total
of 30 lab-related investigations
- Each investigation is self-contained in the
Manual, and may be supplemented using Current Ocean Studies on the
Course Website
- Inflatable globe packaged with the Manual enhances
visualization of ocean phenomena
|
Each Investigations Manual activity is self-contained. With Investigations
Manual activities completed entirely offline without accessing the website,
AMS Ocean Studies course materials are therefore available to
instructors in their entirety prior to the beginning of a term.
Instructors wanting to have their students study ocean in real-time
may choose to supplement the Manual investigations with Current Ocean
Studies prepared weekly on the
Course Website
Orders for the Ocean Studies Investigations Manual and/or other course materials
should be placed through your college bookstore. Go to the Order Class Materials page for details. If you would like to order the Ocean Studies text individually, please visit the AMS Online Store.
If you are a faculty member interested in using the AMS Ocean
Studies materials in a current or future course offering, you may
request an examination copy of
the Text and Investigations Manual.
