About the Course
As a global ecologist we will look deeper into the role that our own carbon footprint has on our oceans. We will learn about some of the creatures that we rely on in our everyday lives and how our actions are affecting them. Using models and the scientific method as our guideline we will do hands-on experiments in order to test our theories and come to our own conclusions! Our students will walk away with a better understanding of how they can make little changes to make a big difference.
• Create a working model of a coral reef
• Experiment and research the impact of pollution on the ecosystem
• Identify how we are all impacted by ocean acidification
• Discover how we each can make a difference
