Preview
Students will learn serious science — like how sponges filter water, how scientists classify marine life, and why deep-sea vents teem with life — and still walk away saying, “That was awesome.”
Check out this 16-week science elective for middle school (Level B) designed to build real academic skills, foster independent learning, and spark curiosity that lasts well beyond the school year.
Through captivating video lessons, hands-on activities, and guided note-taking, students will explore ocean zones, marine organisms, ecosystems, and the forces that shape the sea — all while growing study habits that will carry them into high school with confidence.
And the best part? You can leave the teaching to us!
This preview includes all of Lesson 1, so you and your student can ‘dive in’ and experience the fun for yourselves!
Lesson 1: Life Beneath the Waves
An Introduction to Marine Biology
In this engaging launch into the world of marine biology, students explore what it means to study ocean life and why it matters. From sunlit coral reefs to the mysterious midnight zone, this lesson unveils the scope of God’s design across the ocean’s depths, while laying the groundwork for a full semester of discovery.
Exploration Activities
Throughout the course, your student will engage in hands-on activities that bring marine biology into real life. From sketching phytoplankton to modeling food webs and observing real marine specimens, they’ll explore the ocean’s wonders through interactive learning that deepens understanding.
Step-by-step activity guide them through every exploration — so you can step back, and let discovery unfold.
Lesson 1 Exploration Activity
Dive Into the Ocean Zones
In this activity, students will map the five major ocean zones — from the sunlit surface to the deepest trenches — and explore how pressure, temperature, light, and marine life change with depth. They’ll label each zone, highlight unique adaptations of ocean-dwelling creatures, and create a visual representation of the world beneath the waves.
Comprehension Quizzes
At the end of each lesson, your student will take a quick, auto-graded quiz to reinforce what they’ve learned. These short check-ins help solidify vocabulary, highlight key concepts, and build test-taking confidence — while giving them (and you!) instant feedback on how they’re doing. No red pens or answer keys required.
