#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)
