ACS Cetacean Curriculum

This curriculum is intended as a resource for teachers interested in introducing their students to whales, dolphins and porpoises. It contains some basic background information on cetaceans and offers some ideas for activities to engage students. It is not intended to be either all encompassing or the ultimate resource. The hope is that this will serve as a springboard for teachers and their students to delve into the world of cetaceans and the marine environment.
