Submit a question or report to SEAS

The SEAS Ask-a-Scientist and Student Report Fair are closed at this time, as the program transitions to FLEXE, a new Earth System project in the GLOBE program. You may still use any of the materials posted on the site.

Submit a question to ask-a-scientist (now closed)

Teachers: in this forum, you may ask scientists up to two questions on behalf of your students. The questions may be regarding the classroom-to-sea mussel lab or about the research at sea. Please see the ask-a-scientist page to read posted questions and answers from this year's SEAS scientists.

Submit a report to the SEAS report fair (now closed)

The report fair is open to all middle- and high-school students. Each registered teacher may submit one student report representing the best of their students' work on the SEAS classroom-to-sea mussel lab.

Reports may be submitted as email attachments, or by mail (address details are on our Contact Us page). When you send us your report, please include the confirmation number you received when you registered with SEAS.

Reports may contain up to 4 pages of text and up to 6 additional pages for graphs and tables. Classes are strongly encouraged to construct their report according to the report rubric (28KB pdf download).

Judging

Student reports will be reviewed by volunteers from the Ridge 2000 scientific community. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners will be selected in several categories, from the reports that meet required minimum standards.

Prizes

Each class entering a report will receive a SEAS poster for the classroom, as well as scientists' comments on their report.

Category winners will receive prizes and have their reports posted on this website. Prizes will include framed 8"x10" pictures of the deep-sea environment.

Teachers of students with winning reports will be eligible to become the next SEAS Teacher-At-Sea.
