    • Feedback of Dr. Clark Alexander: "There is no way we are going to get kids excited about the things we do as scientists unless someone can take it back to them while making the results meaningful and personal. That is the power of involving committed, in-service teachers on cruises and what Ms. Sears has done exceedingly well in her newly developed unit on erosion and deposition".
