We are headed to the Marine Science Center for their Estuary Program (including Seine Netting)!!
With outdoor hands-on and in water activities in the estuary, homeschoolers will study and learn about the fish, animals, and plants that live in this habitat. They will gain an understanding of their important role in our environment. Homeschoolers will practice the ancient art of seine netting, a technique used by the Native Americans, and pull seine nets to collect and study the inhabitants of this brackish water system. Homeschoolers will learn the definition of an ecosystem, including the abiotic and biotic components and processes. They will understand that ecosystems have no specific scale and can change when biotic or abiotic components, or processes within the ecosystem change. They will even discover the wonders of things they can’t see, microscopic plankton exploration, and may also conduct some water quality tests to help assess the health of the water they are immersed in. Homeschoolers are welcome to explore the MSC after the outdoor program and visit the gift shop, time permitting.
