Week 1: How to Become a Marine Biologist & What Does a Marine Biologist Do?
Our first day will consist of discussing what you need to do to become a marine biologist. We will take a look at a marine biologist's typical day. How can I become a marine biologist? What does a marine biologist even do? Can anyone be a marine biologist? 
Week 2: Researching Coral Reefs & the Sunlit Zone
Our second day will focus on the most shallow and most researched part of the ocean-the sunlit zone. In the sunlit zone is where the majority of marine life lives. We will investigate and research coral reefs and many of the plants and animals that live in and around reefs across the globe. We will also talk about the characteristics of the sunlit zone. 
Week 3: Working with Dolphins and Whales
On our third day, we will learn how marine biologists can work with marine life, whether it is in a zoo, aquarium, or elsewhere.  
Week 4: Conduct an Experiment-How do Animals Stay Warm in Cold Water?
On our fourth day, we will conduct an experiment to deepen our understanding of how some animals that live in cold seas can stay warm. (List of materials is provided in the Learner Supply List). 
Week 5: Saving and Preserving our Oceans and Marine Wildlife
On our fifth day, we will discuss how to protect the ocean and the wildlife that call it home. 
Week 6: Review Day Game
Our sixth and final day will consist of an interactive review game to go over all that we have learned in previous class meetings.
