Homeschool at Sea Week 8: “Who’s Who in the Big Blue?”
Looking for interactive classes to add to your homeschool curriculum this year? Join Sanibel Sea School for an immersive program that brings marine science to life for homeschoolers!
The Homeschool at Sea program offers an experiential, hands-on approach to learning about Southwest Florida’s coastal ecosystems. Homeschool sessions include a mix of classroom activities, field excursions, experiments, and art projects. For each age group, both morning and afternoon options are available. Courses run from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM or 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Students can sign up for a morning session, an afternoon session, or stay for the whole day. Each week, we offer a unique area of focus. Our talented marine science educators tailor our core curriculum to the week’s focus, so each session is unique, even on the same day. You can find more information on each week 1’s focus below.
Focus of the Week: Marine Taxonomy
Description: This week, we’ll explore the fantastic diversity of life in our oceans through the lens of marine taxonomy—the science of naming, classifying, and understanding sea creatures. From microscopic plankton to mighty whales, we’ll learn how scientists group marine organisms, what makes each phylum unique, and how everything fits into the tree of life. We’ll learn how to use dichotomous keys, catch tons of live creatures to observe, and learn how to group them based on their characteristics.
