- 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.

- 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.
- North Carolina Coastal Plain province
- In Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks, page 1.7
- This lesson is part of chapter one of the unit "Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks." Students compare and contrast the Northern Coastal province and the Southern Coastal province.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8–12 Science and Social Studies)
- By Stanley R. Riggs, Dorothea Ames, and Karen Dawkins.
- North Carolina Coastal Plain: Surface water dynamics
- In Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks, page 1.6
- This lesson is part of the chapter one of the unit "Coastal processes and conflicts, North Carolina's Outer Banks." Students explore the river basins of North Carolina and how they interact with the Atlantic Ocean in the Coastal Plain. They also learn about the estuarine system of this region of North Carolina.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8–12 Science)
- By Stanley R. Riggs, Dorothea Ames, and Karen Dawkins.
- Ocean beaches
- In Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks, page 1.12
- This lesson is part of chapter one of the unit "Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks." Students learn about various materials found on the beaches of North Carolina's Outer Banks. They read about the processes that bring these materials to the beaches.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Science)
- 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.

- By Stanley R. Riggs, Dorothea Ames, and Karen Dawkins.
- Sea-level change and coastal dynamics
- In Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks, page 1.3
- This lesson is a part chapter one of the unit "Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks." Students learn about how the sea level has changed over several thousand years. They also look at sea level changes from the past century and infer what sort of affects these changes have — or will have — on the life of citizens in coastal areas.

- The shoreline, shore zone, and beach
- In Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks, page 1.11
- This lesson is part of chapter one of the unit "Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks." Students learn about shore zones and shorelines. Additionally, they learn what factors influence the development of a beach and they ways in which beaches can differ.

- Storms and coastal erosion
- In Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks, page 1.5
- This lesson is part of chapter one of the unit "Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks." Students learn about the effects storms can have on bodies of water, which can then have a great effect shorelines.
