Lundie Spence In class or out in the field, Lundie Spence plays the Pied Piper of marine science. SARAH FRIDAY Lundie Spence stood at the front of the classroom giving instruc- tions for the day's activities. The students Ustened intently, writing down the important points. Somebody raised a hand and asked a question. It was like any other day at school. But it wasn't. The students were teachers, half from Puerto Rico and half from North Carolina. And the class was on the Caribbean island, getting prepped on the various corals they'd see during the afternoon's snorkeling trip. The beauty and variety of the tropical environments lured Lun- die, Juan Gonzalez and the rest of the class to take the plunge and bring the classroom to life in Puerto Rico. For a week, the teachers watched the pictures in their science books back home come alive and added a few new pages of their own. To Lundie, learning through in- volvement is the key to spurring educators' interest in marine science. She, Gonzalez and Manuel Hernandez, the Puerto Rico Sea Grant director, organized the Puerto Rico workshop with this in mind. "I wanted to design a program in which teachers become im- mersed in the environment," says.
