2007 MARE Workshop Resources

2007 MARE in Review (mov/QuickTime)
See all the action from this year's institute, well, the first 4 days of it anyway.

MARE 2007 Film Festival

On Wednesday August 8, we traveled to Island Beach State Park where participants investigated the bay, dunes, beach and ocean by developing their own inquiry questions and experiments. Afterwards, in a relatively short period of time, each group created a movie to present their findings. Here are their results:

• Hermit Crab Study (1:18 wmv)
• Ocean vs Bay Temperatures (1:30 wmv)
• Holes in the Sand (1:12 wmv)
• Island Beach State Park (3:27 wmv)
• Bay vs Beach (1:58 wmv)
• Bay and Ocean Sounds (unfinished) (wmv)
• Ocean Beach Project (unfinished) (wmv)
• Ripples (unfinished) (wmv)
