Today, there is a wealth of information available to the general public describing marine life. The following publication is a compilation of teaching units created by graduate students from Wheelock College. These units contain hands-on marine science activities for children aged Preschool through High School. The curriculum of each unit varies. Students and educators can learn more about marine life biology, identification, and behavior, marine food chains, and basic oceanographic procedures.
Ocean life is an incredibly intriguing and mysterious field of study.
This publication is assembled to help educators provide a stimulating, creative marine science curriculum for their students through experiential learning. The activities are designed to spark the interest of students so that they wish to continue study and pass on their knowledge gained to others. This Marine Science publication is made possible through the contributions of twelve Wheelock College graduate students during the 1991-1992 academic year. After participating in a 10-day research program, the students were required to complete an independent project based on knowledge gained in the field and individual research. The result is this compilation of teaching units.
