As students in BC and across Canada return to school, Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) and Open School BC (OSBC) are delighted to announce the release of *Shouting Whales*, a new marine science educational resource for teachers and educators, that is available free of charge. Aimed at middle school students from grades six to eight, *Shouting Whales* is a unique resource that brings together science, problem-based learning, multimedia, and advocacy for an in-depth exploration of the oceanic soundscape. # Exploring noise pollution beneath the surface of the sea In particular, students are asked to think about the ocean from the perspective of the orca whale, an animal that relies on sounds rather than visual cues. Through the activities outlined in this resource, students will explore the properties of sound, learn how scientists are studying ocean noise and come to understand how increasing noise pollution is threatening the orca whale’s way of life.
