Have you ever wondered about the magical world of animals and organisms that exist in our aquatic environment?
Class experience
US Grade 9 - 12
Dive into the world of sea turtles, fishes, corals, sharks, and many others in an exploration that will take students into the world full of amazing creatures. Explore areas such as the Great Barrier Reef and learn about the multitude of species of aquatic life that exist. Students will learn about coastal ecology and conservation, which will include exploring conservation groups and how they are helping to protect and conserve organisms. We will also study the biological impacts of climate...

Week 1Lesson 1Introduction to Fields of Marine Biology and Deep Sea Ecology LessonIn this lesson, student will be provided a broad overview of some of the careers in marine biology. Following this, students will be introduced into the world of deep sea ecology and explore the interactions within this unique ecosystem.Week 2Lesson 2Coral ReefsIn this lesson, students will learn about shallow water ecosystem coral reefs including environmental interactions, threats to coral reef ecosystems, and marine life living in these beautiful ecosystems.Week 3Lesson 3EstuariesIn this lesson, students will take an in depth look into the intertidal zone! They will explore different interactions within the ecosystem as well as how these everchanging environments are being affected by climate change.Week 4Lesson 4Arctic/Antarctic Marine EnvironmentsIn this lesson, students will take a look into our Arctic and Antarctic ecosystem. They will explore interactions between marine life, threats to the rapidly changing environments as well as concerns for future populations.
My entire life I wanted to explore the ocean and the environment. I have always had a great appreciation for the processes that are not completely understood and the unknowns that have yet to be discovered in the environment. In the beginning of my professional career in research, I worked as a naturalist on a whale watch boat and as a laboratory technician working on environmental clean up projects such as water and land pollution. Then I moved into my dream job of being a research chemist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in marine & geochemistry where I was able to be in the foundation of the research community and learn from many amazing scientists & researchers who devoted their life to exploring the mysteries of the environment as well as protecting the animals and organisms living in it. For me, working as a student mentor with graduate and post graduate students, made this experience one I will always cherish. As a teacher, I want my students to be excited about what they are learning and with my background in research, I will work extra hard to make sure that if there is an aspect of a topic that a student is interested in, I will make every effort to alter my lessons to include those topics.
Homework Offered
Each week the students will be provided with a recording to listen to as well as assigned weekly readings and a discussion question that students will be required to respond to. Each student will also be provided with their own individual login to Ck-12, which is a site I will be using to provide additional assignments for the students. This site is designed for students to work at their own pace. Students will also be provided with a short project that will begin on the second lesson. This project will be a research project and will be explained further throughout the course.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Understanding of the weekly concepts is assessed by completion of the discussion questions, in addition to, participation in the Nearpod lessons. In Ck-12 students can access supplemental materials such as readings, videos, and interactives. Quizzes in Ck-12 are offered as a way to gauge student understanding of the optional lessons given in Ck-12.Grades Offered
Grades and/or progress reports can be given if requested by the learner or parent.
There are no prerequisites for this course.
Students do not need to have any previous knowledge of marine biology or marine ecosystems.
The teacher will create the logins for Ck-12 for each individual student, no personal information will need to be provided by the student. For the research project, students may need to research information for their projects online. Parental guidance when using the internet is advised. I take Sundays off to spend with my children, so I may not reply to students' emails until the following Monday if emails are sent past 8 pm EST on Saturday. I may not see these emails until Monday.
