The CLEO Project
The Coral Literature, Education and Outreach (CLEO) project is a set of Educational Modules that have have been developed primarily for middle school classes. Each module consists of three segments: background information (science behind the instrument), classroom experiment (experiment to test parameter instrument measures), and teacher’s section (describes the Educational Objectives / National Science Standards, Preliminary Activities / Demonstrations, Suggestions for teaching the concept, and Follow-up or Extension Activities for the class.).

Biscayne Bubbles Educational Flyers
The Miami area is a fast growing urban environment in close proximity to fragile coastal ecosystems, in particular, Biscayne Bay. To help those that live on and near the bay learn about it’s many biological, chemical, and physical characteristics, the local Key Biscayne newspaper, The Islander, teamed up with the Virginia Key Science Community to produce this educational series. This series, named “Biscayne Bubbles” was originally published on a weekly basis in the The Islander and is now available to view online.
“Biscayne Bubbles” provides an introduction to local biota as well an overview of the local research conducted by NOAA, the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, and Florida Sea Grant.
