Ocean Tracks: Investigating Marine Migrations in a Changing Ocean, a collaboration between Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC), and Stanford University's Hopkins Marine Station, is developing a unique model of how to enable high school students to use authentic scientific data via an interactive Web-interface. Ocean Tracks is developing and classroom testing powerful Web-based visualization and analysis tools derived from state-of-the-art knowledge about how to support student inquiry with data. An interactive website provides access to near-real-time and archival data from electronically tagged marine animals, drifting buoys, and Earth-orbiting satellites collected through the Global Tagging of Pelagic Predators, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Adopt-a-Drifter, and MY NASA DATA programs. Powerful Web-based visualization and analysis tools, derived from state-of-the-art knowledge about how to support student inquiry with data, allow students to learn and apply core concepts in ecology, biology, environmental science, earth science, oceanography, and climate science.Concurrently, agencies such as the NSF, NOAA, and NASA are making significant investments in sophisticated cyberinfrastructures (CI) that will make available a treasure trove of scientific data via the Internet to scientists and educators; there is tremendous potential for this data to transform teaching and learning by engaging students in authentic scientific work. However, modifying expert-data interfaces for use by students and supporting students as they engage in scientific inquiry with data are significant challenges. There is an urgent need for model programs such as Ocean Tracks that instantiate the best knowledge of experienced educators and education researchers, practicing scientists, and technology experts. Ocean Tracks harnesses the promise of emerging CI to engage high school students in the use of data visualization tools to study the movement patterns and habitat usage of marine animals (e.g., sharks, tunas, turtles, seals, and seabirds) in relation to oceanographic variables (e.g., sea surface temperature, chlorophyll, and current speed and direction). The knowledge gained from Ocean Tracks will have broad impact by serving as a model for designing and implementing projects in which students, teachers, and scientists collaborate to conduct scientific research, even in classrooms that are far from the ocean and scientists' laboratories.

海洋轨迹：调查海洋迁移在不断变化的海洋，教育发展中心，公司之间的合作。(EDC)和斯坦福大学的霍普金斯海洋站，正在开发一种独特的模式，如何使高中学生使用真实的科学数据通过交互式网络界面。Ocean Tracks正在开发和课堂测试功能强大的基于Web的可视化和分析工具，这些工具来自关于如何支持学生使用数据进行查询的最新知识。一个互动网站提供了近实时和档案数据的访问，这些数据来自电子标记的海洋动物、漂流浮标和地球轨道卫星，这些数据是通过全球远洋捕食者标记、国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）的“漂流者”和“我的NASA数据”计划收集的。强大的基于Web的可视化和分析工具，来自于如何支持学生查询数据的最先进的知识，使学生能够学习和应用生态学，生物学，环境科学，地球科学，海洋学和气候科学的核心概念。同时，NSF，NOAA，和美国国家航空航天局正在对先进的网络基础设施进行重大投资，这些基础设施将通过互联网向科学家和教育工作者提供宝贵的科学数据;通过让学生参与真正的科学工作，这些数据具有巨大的潜力来改变教学。然而，修改专家数据接口供学生使用，并支持学生进行科学探究的数据是重大的挑战。迫切需要像Ocean Tracks这样的模型程序，以实例化经验丰富的教育工作者和教育研究人员，实践科学家和技术专家的最佳知识。Ocean Tracks利用新兴CI的承诺，让高中生使用数据可视化工具来研究海洋动物的运动模式和栖息地使用情况（例如，鲨鱼、金枪鱼、海龟、海豹和海鸟）与海洋学变量（例如，海洋表面温度、叶绿素和海流速度和方向）。从海洋轨道获得的知识将产生广泛的影响，作为设计和实施项目的模式，学生，教师和科学家合作进行科学研究，即使在远离海洋和科学家实验室的教室。
