Students learn about the history of ocean exploration and exploitation and how technology drives our understanding of the Ocean. Students gain an appreciation for major marine geological forces and processes that have shaped our planet and we will also study the smaller scale forces that affect our Ocean and the biology therin, such as waves, tsunamis, tides and currents. Laboratory activities include engineering and design of underwater robots, group projects and presentations and wet and dry labs. Field trips will be used whenever possible.
