The National Science Foundation’s (NSF’s) Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) is a source of open access, continuous, long-term digital data that stream from a suite of co-located instruments measuring physical, chemical, geological, and biological properties at multiple locations in the world ocean (Smith et al., 2018; Trowbridge et al., 2019). These data, made publicly available in real time, constitute a valuable resource that undergraduate educators can use to teach a range of oceanographic principles and make the scientific process tangible. Using real data in undergraduate science education offers significant benefits for developing students’ analytical and problem-solving skills (e.g., Gougis et al., 2017; O’Reilly et al., 2017; McDonnell et al., 2015). Here, we describe existing educational resources derived from OOI data that can be leveraged for undergraduate teaching activities and give example applications of these resources in lesson plans and research experiences for undergraduates. Our goal is to help guide educators in determining appropriate OOI data sets and applications for their own needs. Though this paper focuses on undergraduate geoscience education, the resources and example applications introduced could be expanded to include other levels such as K–12 education and graduate student research opportunities.
