我们的海滨为海洋科学项目的学生提供了一个互动的、动手的学习体验。 对我们的教师来说,这是一个完美的教学时刻。
“我们校园最大的优点是可以通往海滨,”高中科学老师兼系主任莎莉·戴奇(Sari Deitche)说。 “With the waterfront just steps away, I’m able to teach a subject – it may be about crustaceans – and then say to the class, ‘Let’s go and check it out.’ Walking to the waterfront provides an opportunity for the students to become immersed in the subject. 他们接受这种学习方式。”
我们的老师在这一领域都有无可挑剔的背景,他们创建的教室是海洋世界的延伸,带有类似于你在旅游景点看到的触摸箱。
Hands-on Learning
- 从五年级开始,低年级学生开始每隔一周去海滨探索海洋生物,围网和撒网,皮划艇等等。
- 在高中,我们的学生有机会:
- LaMotte Water Testing Kit–funded by the Florida Association for Water Quality Control–to test water parameters such as dissolved oxygen, pH, nitrates, ammonia, turbidity, chlorine, and phosphate.
- YSI 数字 handheld test kits to collect water samples from the different sources around campus (creek, bay, basin, fish tanks), and examine them with cordless stereo microscopes for plankton or other small invertebrates.
- 用塞奇盘测定水的浊度
- 水听器可以听到当地海豚或其他海洋生物的声音
- 使用水景镜和海底取样器或筛子探索海湾的底部
