Course description

Good afternoon;

We have a science course we have been offering for many years at Mesa Public Schools. The exact name of the course is not listed on the website as an approved course. However; all marine biology courses of any name I have seen are listed as life science. We would like to keep the name of the course as/is and have confirmation that this course can be listed as a life science course; not integrated.†

Thank you for any help you can provide;†

Ecology of Marine Ecosystems

This is an upper-level high school science course for students interested in having a greater understanding of the oceans and the interactions of humans in these environments. The topics focus on studying the living organisms in the ocean; how they interact with each other and how their ecosystems function. Students will conduct experiments; collaborative data collection; participate in class discussions on current events in our oceans; as well as take a culminating field trip to Catalina Island Marine Institute to apply all the knowledge gained in the classroom.
