My Project

Many of my students will never see the ocean in their lives. We live in the middle of the desert. At a middle school level, science is all about inquiry and focusing on coming up with solutions to real-world issues.

I want to give my students the opportunity to observe real plant and animal specimens before these species go extinct!

I want to give my students the opportunity to see what the ocean has to offer and raise awareness, 30 students at a time, about how awe-inspiring and amazing the ocean and its life can be.
