Great Lakes, Great Careers

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Great Lakes, Great Careers lesson plan also includes:
  • Assessment, Expectations and National Benchmarks
  • Choosing a Career in Science
  • Marine Careers
  • Join to access all included materials

Pupils play a question-asking game to investigate careers relating to marine and aquatic science, then conduct research to further investigate the career of their choice—examples range from marine veterinarian to underwater cinematographer. Reading career profiles of people who actually work in these jobs—including their bios, education and personal journeys—helps learners become familiar with exciting and limitless opportunities to work in science!
