Dive into Oceanography!
Did you know the Earth should technically be called an Ocean? Covering over 70% of our planet, the world's ocean is Earth’s biggest habitat. If you are curious and passionate about the ocean, spend a week diving into oceanography! On the first day, you will discover the many early ocean explorers and their contributions to mapping the world, discovering seafloor features, and early oceanographic research on animals. Case studies of modern scientific expeditions and the fascinating careers available to you as a future oceanographer will also be a focus of our activities and discussions. Each successive day in Dive Into Oceanography will be a deep dive into one of the four disciplines of oceanography: geological, chemical, physical, and biological oceanography. Using many hands-on experiments and demonstrations, students will learn all about the geology of the seafloor, the chemistry of seawater, the mathematics of ocean physics, and the amazing life in the ocean - from the daily vertical migrations of the smallest plankton, the eyebrow-raising flying squids, and the sometimes strange, yet fascinating behaviors of whales! | |

Using what they learn, from each activity, students will be able to identify the steps of the scientific process.

Weather Wonders: Exploring the Science of the Sky
Have you ever wondered why it rains on sunny days or how the weather can
change so quickly? In this engaging meteorology course, we will investigate the answers to these
questions and many more. We will explore the forces that shape our atmosphere and influence the world
around us through interactive experiments and inquiry-based activities.
During our course, we will use a variety of weather measurement tools to collect and analyze
meteorological data. We will also conduct science experiments to understand how weather events impact
environmental health and human health.
By the end of our time together, we will be able to think like meteorologists: by asking questions,
interpreting evidence, making predictions, and understanding how weather both shapes our lives. | |
