Modeled after NSF’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates program, COSEE Florida’s Research Experience for Pre-Service Teachers (REPT) project is an educationally valuable capstone element within the Bachelor’s Degree in Middle Grades Science Education with a Concentration in Ocean Science at Indian River State College (IRSC). In summer 2011, junior and senior level science education majors conducted research with mentors from three local marine research organizations, produced a scientific poster and crafted an educational multi-media presentation.
