How it works: Reef Relief has created this virtual classroom that includes 8 marine science units that are appropriate for students of all ages, homeschooling families, and teachers who would like to incorporate marine science into their classroom. Each unit covers several topics inside, with each topic including educational videos, worksheets, activities, interviews with experts in the field, and various supplemental resources.
We say these units are suitable for all ages as there is something for everyone to enjoy in each! Content within these units are categorized as follows:
Beginner: Someone new to marine science or between the ages 5-8
Medium: Moderate marine science knowledge or someone between the ages 9-11
Advanced: Comfortable with more in-depth science topics or between the ages 12-17
The majority of video lessons are taught at roughly an upper elementary level (medium). There are beginner level versions of lessons available for certain topics where applicable, and other topics are inherently more advanced. There is a mix of beginner through advanced level supplemental materials within each topic.
