This class is formatted to be fun and interactive while we learn an entire school year's curriculum in 14 weeks. In class, we use 360-degree movies to feel immersed under the ocean, slideshows, interactive games, on-camera science experiments, and of course, a plethora of really cool photos! Marine biology is a category of science that often gets overlooked. My goal is to introduce students to this subject in a way they can carry with them, understanding how important the ocean is to our planet! Please see the syllabus for a weekly breakdown of lessons.
