Abstract
This Oceanography course will allow students to study the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of the oceanic environment. Students will study the historical exploration of the ocean. They will explore the formation of the ocean basins, waves and tides, currents, weather and pollution, coral reef systems, estuaries, and much more. The spectrum of ocean life and lifestyle zones of the ocean will be studied and examined through lab activities. Critical analysis of coastal and oceanic degradation will be studied in marine ecology, along with the impact of humans on the marine environment and the effects of those impacts (FHS Course Catalog, 2021-2022).
