California Coastal Voices

California Coastal Voices, https://www.coastal.ca.gov/coastalvoices/, is a free, project-based learning tool designed to address California's Next Generation Science, Common Core, and History-Social Science standards. Consisting of six units or "projects" that introduce students to coastal conflicts, challenges, and scientific and policy issues, the emphasis is on problem solving and communication. The projects are especially useful for teachers of environmental science or those who seek to integrate Earth science into biology, chemistry, or physics classes. Several of the projects work well in government and seminar classes as well.

California Coastal Voices can be downloaded as a PDF in its entirety or by project. For use in the electronic classroom, student readings and templates can be downloaded separately. Some student handouts are available as Word documents for teacher customization under the relevant project and activity in the Resource Links section.

Project topics include remote sensing, coastal engineering, land use policy, equitable park access, ecological restoration, and ocean-related career exploration.
