Ocean Odyssey is a month-long FLEX course that will take students on an incredible journey with a marine biologist to the deepest parts of the ocean! What are the layers of the ocean? What makes each layer different? Get ready to explore the ocean from the surface all the way to the most extreme depths. From tiny, colorful reef inhabitants to the largest animal on earth – the blue whale, students will uncover connections between the ocean and themselves. Dr. Daisy will reveal a new ocean destination each week from the surface to the most extreme depths where light no longer penetrates. Students will come face-to-face with amazing habitats and fascinating animals – some cute, some dangerous.

This course is designed to facilitate interaction. Emphasis is placed on teacher to student interaction as well a student to student interaction. Learning is resultant on class participation. 

As this is a flexible course, we will use asynchronous communication such as pre-recorded videos, photos, and discussion boards. Once per week the teacher will post updates such as: activity sheets, questions, fun projects, experiments, challenges, and conversation starters. The teacher will dedicate at least 2 days per week to responding to learner questions. Participation in weekly hands-on projects, experiments, and challenges are interactive and will enhance the learning experience.

This flexible course is available for 4 weeks.
