- Back-barrier sounds of the Northern Coastal Province
- In Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks, page 1.10
- This lesson is part of chapter one of the unit "Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks." Students analyze the five back-barrier sounds in the Northern Province. They look at how weather and wave patterns affect the water within these sounds.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8 Science)
- By Stanley R. Riggs, Dorothea Ames, and Karen Dawkins.
- Barrier islands
- In Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks, page 1.8
- This lesson is part of chapter one of the unit "Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks." Students examine the difference between simple overwash barrier islands and complex barrier islands. They also learn more about the island-building process and the effect this process can have on daily life on barrier islands.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8–12 Science and Social Studies)
- By Stanley R. Riggs, Dorothea Ames, and Karen Dawkins.
- The coastal dilemma
- In Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks, page 1.15
- This lesson is part of chapter one of the unit "Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks. Students look at examples of shoreline erosion. They reflect on the impact this erosion can have on human life on the Outer Banks.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8–12 Science and Social Studies)
- By Stanley R. Riggs, Dorothea Ames, and Karen Dawkins.
- Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks
- The lessons in this unit allow students to explore the processes affecting North Carolina's Outer Banks and the impact these processes have on daily life there.
- Format: lesson plan (multiple pages)
- Estuarine shorelines behind complex barrier islands
- In Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks, page 1.14
- This lesson is part of chapter one of the unit "Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks." Students examine the different types of shorelines on the soundside of complex barrier islands. They look at how ocean-side processes affect the soundside of complex barrier islands.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Science)
- By Stanley R. Riggs, Dorothea Ames, and Karen Dawkins.
- Estuarine shorelines behind simple overwash barrier islands
- In Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks, page 1.13
- This lesson is part of chapter one in the unit "Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks." Students take another look at simple overwash and complex barrier islands. They examine more closely how overwash and inlet processes are crucial to the long-term maintenance of barrier islands and how these processes can affect human life.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8–12 Science and Social Studies)
- By Stanley R. Riggs, Dorothea Ames, and Karen Dawkins.
- Human responses to eroding shorelines
- In Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks, page 1.16
- This lesson is part of chapter one of the unit "Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks." Students look at efforts that are taken to prevent shoreline erosion. These include building hardened structures along shorelines. Students examine the effects these efforts have on barrier islands.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8–12 Science and Social Studies)
- By Stanley R. Riggs, Dorothea Ames, and Karen Dawkins.
- Role of barrier islands and their inlet/outlet systems
- In Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks, page 1.9
- This lesson is part of chapter one of the unit "Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks." Students take a closer look at the unique environment that estuaries provide for plants and animals.
