Teachers can download this comprehensive teaching package in which young scholars explore two marine ecosystems, the coral reefs of the Caribbean and the state of Maine's rocky coastline. This amazing teaching package comes complete with background information, pictures and maps, student handouts, teacher answer keys, and a list of resources.
