Introduction

The Virginia's Oyster Reef Teaching EXperience (VORTEX) Web ActiVity for Educators (WAVE) program is a series of educational materials that are available exclusively from the Internet in PDF (Portable Document Format). This series of publications was developed in response to requests from educators for data-based activities that could be used in coordination with existing VORTEX materials to emphasize particular topics.

All WAVE publications include clearly defined objectives, references to relevant Virginia SOL, worksheets for students, and answer keys for teachers.

WAVE Publications

• WAVE 1: Predators in Action: Rapa whelks vs. Hard clams
• WAVE 2: Economics of Oyster Mortality - answer key companion to VORTEX Shellfish Stalkers: Threats to an Oyster Activity Booklet for Educators (Available 2004).
