Tim Liveright on No Regrets<\/em> is one of the Blue Planet Odyssey Ambassadors<\/a> who has set up links with his local schools in Pennsylvania so they can follow the Blue Planet Odyssey around the world. Most recently he set up a Skype conference so he could show the students what his boat looked like and answer their questions.<\/p>\n

I just conducted a Skype session with one of the teachers in Pennsylvania from a balcony above the marina in Charleston, SC overlooking the basin and adjacent river.\u00a0 The kids spoke of their project testing local creek waters and barraged me with a ton of questions about the expedition and our boat.\u00a0 Wonderfully uplifting!\u00a0 Know that the BPO has quite a number of excited followers.<\/em><\/p>\n

Best,<\/em><\/p>\n

North Penn Liberty students Skyped with Dr. Liveright and saw his boat for the first time<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0The teachers have also come up with some interesting ideas as to how they can use the Blue Planet Odyssey<\/a> as a stepping stone to their own science work in the classroom, from testing water samples to raising trout, as they explain below.<\/p>\n

\u00a0We are excited to participate in skype sessions\u00a0 with Tim Liveright as he explains the mysteries of the oceans to my\u00a0landlocked students.\u00a0 The BPO project\u00a0is a perfect addition\u00a0to another project where\u00a0we raise brook trout from eggs to fingerlings in an aquarium through a program funded by Trout Unlimited entitled \u2018Trout in the Classroom\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0We will get to study water quality issues both locally and globally, a perfect combination! \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Thank you.\u00a0<\/p>\n
