Oceanography & Marine Ecology
Student Coursebook Series
Volume 1: Ocean Processes
Available as of July 18! A full-color, write-on coursebook designed to make ocean science engaging, interactive, and easy to learn. Each chapter combines clear explanations, stunning photography, marine wildlife, maps, graphs, and scientific illustrations to help students understand how the ocean works. Throughout the course, students complete short writing activities, analyze real scientific data, interpret maps, and participate in online investigations that extend learning beyond the printed page. Volume 1 provides a complete semester of ocean science.
Volume 2 will be available soon to begin your second Wild Blue Semester.
Teaching Marine Science
Marine Science is the absolute best class to teach. Who doesn't want to spend their days talking about swim bladders, seahorse dads, and sea otters napping in kelp forests? ….. Alright, maybe a lot of people don’t, but we aren’t them!
It's a fun class to teach. But it isn't always easy.
Your district probably didn't hand you any materials (because there aren’t any out there). The textbook is pretty boring, and you've probably already spent hours piecing together resources from all over the internet.
The content itself isn't overly difficult, but many students struggle with reading, writing, and organizing information. That's actually one of the reasons I love teaching Marine Science. Students come for the sharks and sea turtles, but along the way they're practicing scientific reading, writing explanations, analyzing graphs, and interpreting maps. They are applying science skills they've already learned in Biology and Earth Science, but now it’s related to great whites… or Hawaiian Islands… or coral reefs. It’s a review of basic concepts, just in a much more engaging context.
“We are all reading teachers.”
“It has to be engaging.”
Principals love to say these things. They're right. Students need more reading, more writing, and more opportunities to think like scientists. The good news is, you don't have to build all of that from scratch.
After 20 years of teaching Marine Science, I know how much time it takes to build a great course. Your year is already planned out for you if you choose Wild Blue. There is plenty of flexibility built in. Every unit includes opportunities to choose activities that fit your students and your teaching style. The goal isn't to cram in as many worksheets as possible. It's to build confident science students while building very basic academic skills at the same time.
Marine Science isn't just about teaching students about the ocean. It's about using the ocean to teach students how to think like scientists.
