Where did all of Earth's water come from? What causes waves and tides? What do rubber ducks have to do with mapping the ocean's currents? Have humans explored the deepest depths of the ocean? How do humans use natural resources from the ocean? Why are creatures living on the ocean's floors so strange? Find the answers to these questions and many, many more in "Oceanography 101: Features, Currents, Life, and More!" 

In this fun and engaging course, students will learn all about the Earth's oceans. The schedule is as follows:

Week 1: Oceans and Seas, Ocean Floor Features
Week 2: Ocean Zones and Life
Week 3: Ocean Currents, Tides, and Waves
Week 4: Ocean Resources, Environmental Impacts

Students only need an inquisitive mind, a willingness to learn, and a basic understanding of science. A variety of resources will be used and lessons will be a combination of presentations, short video clips, question-and-answer sessions, activities, demonstrations, and labs demonstrated by me. 

Learner progress will be evaluated through a variety of methods. These may include teacher questioning, warm-ups and exit tickets,  and other activities. While I will demonstrate labs and concepts for students, they will not be required to complete lab activities. However, I will provide information on each demonstration or lab should you wish to give it a try! 

I'll see you in class!
