Completion of Biology A/B and Chemistry A/B and completion or concurrent enrollment in AlgebraCourse description
Marine Studies is a one-year class that is designed to help students understand the mysteries of the ocean. The first semester is based on physical science requirements. This class uses labs to reinforce the understanding of the history of the ocean, plate tectonics, ocean floor composition, ocean water properties, pressure, as well as wave dynamics. Second semester is based on life science requirements. Students will learn about the fundamentals of biology, zones of the ocean, micro- organisms, invertebrates, marine fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Through the use of labs (including dissection) the students will better understand the anatomical differences between varieties of organisms in the ocean. Students must complete Marine Studies A with a grade of “C” or better in order to move onto Marine Studies B. UC Approve
