Gain firsthand experience exploring marine science Precollege programs at Shoals Marine Laboratory on Appledore Island, Maine, give you the chance to transform yourself from a student to a scientist. You can choose from Marine Environmental Science 3 credit, two-week summer course Introduction to the Biology of Sharks, Skates, and Rays 1 credit, one-week summer course Classroom and field activities include deploying oceanographic equipment to collect water samples, exploring the rock intertidal zone, traveling to adjacent islands to observe seal and seabird colonies, dissecting sharks and rays to learn their unique anatomy, fishing for mackerel and bottom fish and observing whales in their foraging grounds.
Learn more. Program highlights Live and study on Appledore Island, one of nine islands in the Isles of Shoals archipelago, located six miles off the coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Participate in experiential, place-based learning that includes hands-on field and laboratory activities. Benefit from small class sizes faculty to student ratio between to Acadia Institute of Oceanography's Advanced Sessions are pre-college summer courses offered to students age who have completed one year of high school science, preferably biology or chemistry.
InternWorks offers on-site and virtual programs during the summer, school year, and gap year. This program takes full advantage of our location on the coast in Boston. Wellesley is only a commuter rail ride away from ships departing for the Boston Harbor Islands. Students study high and low tides, venture into rivers and streams, and explore the various New England habitats UC San Diego Academic Connections provides a pre-college summer experience that is academically enriching to a diverse population of high-achieving, college-bound high school students motivated to explore the offerings of UC San Diego — a top five, internationally ranked public institution The Acadia Institute of Oceanography offers a two week Intermediate program for students in grades Students assume the roles of space explorer, marine biologist, computer programmer and more as they immerse themselves in hands-on projects The UC San Diego Global Environmental Leadership and Sustainability pre-college programs are designed to provide high achieving high school students the opportunity to engage and address environmental issues in the world today in an effort to develop future "Leaders in Caring for the Earth.
The course is designed to provide an overview of the interaction between marine life and ocean processes. When we study living things in the ocean and how they interact with their environment we actually study marine ecology. We will use Long Island Sound as our outdoor laboratory to study coastal marine ecology and learn the tools marine biologists and oceanographers use to understand the impact of climate change and human activity on marine life.
Marine scientists use the data and results from research of ocean processes such as ocean temperatures, currents, chemistry, geology and as well as biology to plan and carry out conservation measures to protect marine life. Our goals for you once you have completed this program are: 1 That you leave the program with a better understanding of how scientists discover and explain the workings of the natural world 2 How oceanography helps us to appreciate and manage our planet 3 Marine Biology includes life from the microscopic algae to largest of whales and their survival depends upon our stewardship of the oceans.
This will be accomplished by touching on specific principles of marine biology and marine science in general, applying some mathematical analysis, and hypothesis testing and applying reasoning that will converge all our topics to not only develop a better appreciation of the marine environment.
Elements of marine chemistry and marine physics are explored using instrumentation. You will collect data from field measurements and chemical analysis and record qualitative observations.
Homework will be comprised of generating graphs and contemplating questions we plan to discuss during the next class. Prerequisite: Students must have completed two years of high school science and math through Algebra I to take this course.
