My eighth graders attend a public junior high school here in the Arizona desert. They have sometimes visited the beach or Sea World and fallen in love with the ocean, yet know little about marine science other than Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. For every student who dreams of training Shamu, there is another who wants to use their art talent in a future career. And for every student who loves computers and numbers, there is another who wants to work with machines and structures. Yet another wants to make a difference in the environment and fix a problem that faces humankind. All of these students are on the verge of their high school careers, where a path to their dreams will begin. I can help them set a course for their dream by teaching them some basics of what marine science is all about. This hands-on enrichment class engages students in everything from sand grain analysis and animal classification to the writings of oceanographers past and present.
