Florida Science: An Environmental Science Adventure

$300

32 weeks

10th-12th Grades

​

This is a great environmental science study for students anywhere, while taking an adventure with us in the Sunshine State! This course will explore Florida animals, plants, flowers, trees, geography, geology, climate, weather, and is a good introduction to the science of ecology. Using the richly illustrated secular textbook Priceless Florida, this will be a great opportunity for the students to learn how to translate evolutionary interpretations into a Biblical worldview. Floridians will understand and appreciate their home state in a whole new way.
 
(Depending on the reading level of your student, approximately 1 hour of homework per day).

"Online Class Sessions" often exceed 1 hour, as this course is more in depth then any of the other "Florida Science" courses.

A list of suggested field trips is offered for your family to enhance your Sunshine State Science adventure! Online fieldtrips and activities are assigned to further the student's experience (we recommend that parents accompany students with all internet activities).

Labs are not performed in the "Online Class Sessions". For lab credit the student must complete the suggested labs and lab write ups, as specified on the lab syllabus.

Marine Biology and Florida Waters

$300

32 weeks

10th-12th Grades
Prerequisite: High School Biology

​

Join us for an exciting adventure exploring marine wildlife and their habitats. Students will become acquainted with microscopic organisms that make life in the ocean possible, including details about their interesting habits and life cycles. Dissections of larger organisms include clams, starfish, and sharks. We will explore how these creatures and their physical surroundings form marine ecosystems such as intertidal zones, estuaries, coral reefs, continental shelf, epipelagic, and deep-ocean communities. This course focuses on how these subjects apply to Florida whenever possible.
 
This is a high school science with lab class so there are many experiments which will need to be properly written up as instructed in the syllabus for a complete Marine Biology with Lab credit. This adventure is designed for students that have already completed first year Biology.
