Pre and Post Activities List

Get on Board
In this activity, students explore the adventures of current scientific ocean drilling
research taking place onboard the JOIDES Resolution (JR) using the variety of
resources available on the ship’s website (www.joidesresolution.org).

Where in the World
In this introductory activity on scientific
ocean drilling sites, students expand their
knowledge of latitude and longitude in
relation to global position. Students record
and utilize metadata to find additional
information.

A Bit of Engineering
This Earth science coring activity provides
an opportunity for students to look at
ocean drilling through the eyes of the
driller and the engineer. Student teams
test three different drilling tools on a
variety of ocean bottom substrates to
discover which type of drill allows them to
retrieve the most intact core for study.
