Objectives |

We are pleased to introduce Marine Science to our Clover Garden
curriculum. This course will fulfill the
Earth/Environmental Science requirement for High School
students. Our Marine Science curriculum is required to
cover all of the North Carolina Standard Course of Study Earth
Science Goals but with a Marine/Aquatic focus.
The Marine Science curriculum will incorporate the following
areas:
- Ocean weather - with focus on hurricanes, tsunamis
- Shorelines - erosion, deposition, topography, ecology
- Ocean creature tracking
- North Carolina wetlands, beaches, bays, and estuaries
- Ocean water properties - currents, temperatures, density,
salinity
- Ocean seismic activity and geology
- Human impact on marine environments
In addition to marine focused objectives, we will also cover
specific standard course of study objectives that are
traditionally studied from a land based perspective.
- Lithosphere / Plate Tectonics / Earthquakes
- Geology and Radioactive Dating
- Rock cycles
- Atmosphere / Meteorology / Weather
- Solar System / Astronomy
