Description

Introductory Marine Biology 

For children entering grades 3–5

More than 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans and less than 5% of that has been rigorously explored. But in that 5% we have discovered some amazing things. This course will be a brief dive into marine biology. To start, the course will review the basics of ocean geography, introductory marine geology, and discuss why water is so unique. Then the course will spend the majority of the time exploring the most interesting examples of marine biodiversity, ranging from our shorelines and lakes to the deepest explored trenches. The course will include lots of visual and interactive elements taking advantage of wildlife videos, live streams of the deep sea, activities, and games. The final class will talk about ocean conservation and global warming's impacts.
