STEMExplore Virtual Tour with ANGARI Foundation Aboard the Research Vessel ANGARI

by EarthEcho International

Join EarthEcho International as we highlight relatable voices and exciting life experiences to make careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) come alive! EarthEcho strives to connect students to STEM professionals to serve as positive role models and inspiration to the next generation of STEMExplorers.

During this 45-minute session, participants will:
- Learn about ANGARI Foundation- who they are and how they support ocean science research and education;
- Virtually tour the Foundation’s Research Vessel ANGARI with their Captain Angela Rosenberg;
- Discover what life and work are like for research scientists at sea;
- Gain insight into various STEM and marine industry related careers; and
- Ask questions of ANGARI Foundation’s Director of Science Education & Advancement, Dr. Amanda Waite.

Dr. Amanda Waite is an upstate New York native who, as many times as she’s tried to escape, keeps finding herself back in Florida. Amanda has a B.A. in Geology from Hamilton College, M.Sc. in Oceanography from the University of Delaware’s College of Earth, Ocean and the Environment, and Ph.D. in Marine Geology and Geophysics from the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami. A paleoceanographer and geochemist by training, Amanda studies the relationship between our oceans and climate and how they have changed through time, having conducted earth and marine science research in academic, museum, and petroleum industry settings. She has also maintained a commitment to science education throughout these endeavors, teaching at the college level, as well as in K-12, teacher professional development and informal education settings. Amanda has an innate appreciation and passion for the power of hands-on field and lab based learning in the sciences, and she is thrilled to be able to share this with audiences of all ages at ANGARI Foundation.

Our Virtual Career Connections and live streams are open to everyone. Each event will focus on specific science standards for middle and/or high school students, but will be enjoyable and informative for a wide range of audiences. We’d love it if you could watch for the duration and ask questions, but it is not required.

Objectives

Standards Alignment

National Standards

NGSS STANDARDS :
MS-ESS3-3. Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment.

ESS3.C: Human Impacts on Earth Systems • Human activities have significantly altered the biosphere, sometimes damaging or destroying natural habitats and causing the extinction of other species. But changes to Earth’s environments can have different impacts (negative and positive) for different living things. • Typically as human populations and per-capita consumption of natural resources increase, so do the negative impacts on Earth unless the activities and technologies involved are engineered otherwise.

MS-ESS3-4. Construct an argument supported by evidence for how increases in human population and per-capita consumption of natural resources impact Earth’s systems.

Ocean Literacy Principles (OLP):
Principle 6: The ocean and humans are inextricably interconnected.
The ocean affects every human life. It supplies freshwater (most rain comes from the ocean) and nearly all Earth’s oxygen. The ocean moderates the Earth’s climate, influences our weather, and affects human health.
Everyone is responsible for caring for the ocean. The ocean sustains life on Earth and humans must live in ways that sustain the ocean. Individual and collective actions are needed to effectively manage ocean resources for all.
