Course description

Since the beginning of time; humans have relied on the ocean. But as our planet continues to change over time; human activity has impacted the environment. In the marine science course; students will explore the watery depths of our own planet and understand just how vital the ocean is to our existence.†Throughout the course; students will meet marine animals and see how they interact with each other and their environment. They will tour the evolving seafloor and see trenches; volcanoes; and ridges; just to name a few. Along the way; students will hang ten as they discover waves; currents; tides; and other physical interactions between the ocean and the land. Finally; students will study the impacts of chemical processes on our blue planet and how they affect the water; the atmosphere; and even our climate. With a focus on conservation; this course will show students that the ocean connects us all; across distance and even time. Hang on?it's going to be an amazing journey.
