Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
What are the different branches of marine science?  How are these branches studied and why do they matter to our lives?  These will be the questions driving the course content during our time in class. 

Each class will follow a similar format to the following:
Part 1: Discussion question on the weekly topic to access learner's prior knowledge. 
Part 2: Content exploration through discussion and multi-media presentation.
Part 3: Concept review and student assessment using techniques such as, but not limited to: short answer description, identification, student created products and games.

Below are the topics, in order, that will be used to anchor weekly material beginning in January 2021:
