      NOAA Ocean Today

      Engage your elementary aged students this Earth Day with “Teek and Tom!” 

      Watch the Short Trailer

      Teek and Tom Trailer


      Teek and Tom Explore Planet Earth is a five-part animated educational series with ten accompanying lesson plans that takes young viewers on an exploration of the ocean’s influence on Earth’s weather and climate and demonstrates how NOAA uses high tech tools to gather information about our changing planet. 

      If your students love NOAA Ocean Today videos, they’re going to really love this new five-part animated series all about the ocean-weather-climate connection!

      Watch all 5 action and science packed videos!

      Check out all 10 amazing lesson plans!

      Note: All five videos(ranging in length from 9 to 16 minutes) and ten lesson plans (available individually and as part of a comprehensive Educator’s Guide) can be freely downloaded from our website for offline use.

       

       


      I would recommend these videos to other educators teaching earth science to students. As an educator in a state that has adopted and implemented the Next Generation Science Standards, these videos either directly or implicitly address multiple standards, and they introduce several NOAA tools and data that can be explored further. There are no free resources that I currently know of that address these specific concepts so thoroughly.

      This (series) will have a big impact on so many kids for a long time! Through the use of the video and the lesson plan, I can see students developing a deep understanding about the difference between weather and climate. I will recommend these videos to other teachers and share them with our district science leadership.

      Who is the target audience for Teek and Tom?

      Beach experiment

      NOAA created the Teek and Tom collection for an upper elementary to middle school audience, including students, educators, and families. We designed the five videos and ten accompanying lesson plans to align with the Next Generation Science StandardsCommon Core Math and Common Core English and Language Arts Standards at the fourth-through-sixth-grade level. The accessibility of these resources ensures that students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds can benefit equally, bridging gaps in educational resources. 


      NOAA @ NSTA!: Explore the Ocean, Weather, Climate Connection with Teek and Tom

      Teek and Tom Explore Planet Earth investigates the relationship between the ocean, weather and climate on local to global scales. You’ll sample some of the ten hands-on activities for upper ES and MS students to reinforce Earth science concepts related to oceanography, meteorology and climate.
