#WaveWatching
/weɪv wɒtʃɪŋ/
noun
#WaveWatching is the practice of observing water or other fluids, and trying to explain any movement. #WaveWatching is great for several reasons:
- It is a powerful way of discovering disciplinary content in everyday contexts
- It can contribute to place-based learning (see for example #BergenWaveWatching)
- It can help build and strengthen identity as oceanographer (and it definitely did that for me many times when I did not have access to the community or the ocean)
Quick start to #WaveWatching
- I have written intro posts! Read them in English or German
- I made a “fortune teller”, i.e. pocket guide, to #WaveWatching (Download English, Spanish, German)
- I wrote a book called “Let’s go wave watching” with tons of pictures and explanations (English, German)
- I drew a picture book called “Wave watching with Pauline” (English, German)
Any more questions? Please be in touch! :-)
