After a two year effort, the Farallones Marine Sanctuary Association has completed a 5-unit pilot curriculum for the LiMPETS Sandy Beach and Rocky  Intertidal Programs. Evolved from a simple teacher handbook, this new  curriculum is packed with scientific background materials and an array of  classroom activities for grades 6 through 12. Evaluation of students  who completed the LiMPETS program and classroom curricular materials showed  improved scientific knowledge and increased awareness of ocean issues.
