Abstract
The scripps classroom connection (SCC) graduate STEM fellows in K-12 Education is a 5-yr program funded through NSF's Division of Graduate Education. The goal of this program is to prepare graduate students for professional and scientific careers for the 21st century. In addition to improving communication and presentation skills for the graduate fellows, the program brings authentic science into middle and high school classrooms of the San Diego Unified School District and creates an enduring set of lesson plans and activities based on the interdisciplinary science conducted at Scripps. One such lesson involves the introduction to ocean acoustics. An activity to accompany this lesson shows the difference in comparison of how sound travels in air and how sound travels in water. Students are able to understand that acoustic waves travel differently in different media.
