Then we immediately transitioned into a group activity about the different...

Today was by far the most hands on and exciting day of class we have had yet. We started the class off by listening to two groups present their individual articles that they researched and discussed. We immediately transitioned into a class discussion on marine and non-marine invertebrates. It was pretty interesting to learn more about the animals that...

Today in class Mr. Kirby taught us about plankton and algae in the oceans around the world. The lesson was worthwhile because I learned so much. I actually found out that some plankton even feed on other plankton to survive. I also learned that most marine organisms begin their lives as plankton because they are so small and can...

Today in class Doc. Gruninger and Mr. Kirby enlightened us with a lesson focusing on waves, currents, and tides in the oceans. The lesson was very worthwhile, and I feel like I learned a lot today. This lesson really fit in well with the overall aim toward learning more about Marine Biology. The waves, tides, and currents all influence...

Today was an interesting day. We learned about the origins of life and plate tectonics. Basically, we went through the history of our planet very quickly and how life played a role. The origin of life and plate tectonics are important to marine biology for many reasons. Many believe that life originated in the oceans, so studying underwater life...

Hello readers, this is Sean Tomlinson coming at you from classroom 218. Today in class we learned the scientific method. Doctor G. led us through his experiences with his own experiments and tests. He taught us so much about worms and their different behaviors. We also learned about different types of marine biologists. I personally was assigned to learn...

It's going to be great learning about the marine ecosystem with my friends: Nick Dell, Brody McClure, and the soccer star himself, Gabe Arango. I can't wait to learn more about the...
