Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
In this multi day class, we will learn about the oceans and its creatures. We are going to discuss about what's happening to our oceans nowadays.  What can we do to help? Why are marine species disapearing? What marine conservation does to protect our oceans? Find the answers to these questions and many more in "Marine Biology Club: Let's Help our Ocean". Together we will explore, discuss and find solutions. Every week we will focus on a different topic. As a group we will be encouraged to do weekly projects and small actions in our comunities. We will engage in several ocean projects.

We will meet two times a week for eight weeks. 
 
My classes offer a unique opportunity to participate asking or answering questions and discussing different topics that we will see in each class. Participation is optional and students can use the chat too. 

I will share my own presentations, videos, photos and my own experience as a marine biologist and scuba dive instructor. 

My classes are designed to encourage student engagement and follow their curiosity. There are no prerequisites for this class.
