Curriculum Overview
Students’ journey under the sea begins with an introduction to oceanography, which includes topics such as the oceans’ structure, salinity, tides, and waves. After becoming young oceanographers, students will continue their adventures by studying marine biology. They will learn all about God’s amazing swimming creatures, including whales, cephalopods, mollusks, gastropods, and more. They’ll learn not only about the creatures’ historical, physical, and behavioral significance but also about their important connections to humans.
Hands-On Experiments
