Florida Aquarium "Teacher workshop on coral reef ecosystems"


Fifteen teachers, grades 8-12, experienced a week of "total immersion" in the various ecosystems of the Florida Keys. Heather Judkins, Teacher Programs Coordinator for The Florida Aquarium (Tampa, FL), offered a workshop on "Chemical Processes Associated with Coral Reef Ecosystems" in July 2013.

 After each snorkel, everyone gathered around Heather to summarize their experiences.

 They all left with exhausted smiles and a greater appreciation of The Keys. This was Heather's first KML experience and she promises to return.
