Immersion Learning - Monterey Bay
In Immersion Learning’s Monterey Bay multimedia curriculum, students join Dr. Robert Ballard and a team of scientists as they explore the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary off the coast of Monterey, California. As virtual members of the expedition team, students will use reading selections, hands-on activities, photos, videos, and more to explore many of the region’s fascinating ecosystems — including estuaries, the intertidal zone, kelp forests, the deep sea, and the open ocean.
Through their Immersion adventure, students will:
- Meet real-life scientists and learn about their work
- Explore a wide variety of science topics including ocean circulation, upwelling, estuaries, water quality, watersheds, adaptations, the intertidal zone, kelp forests, predator-prey interactions, bioluminescence, the deep sea, the open ocean, population dynamics, research methods, and careers
As with all Immersion Learning curricula, Monterey Bay is designed to be implemented in a wide variety of informal and formal education settings such as after-school programs, summer camps, and elementary and middle school science classrooms. It includes enough material for eight to twenty lessons with activity notes, extensions, multimedia connections, adaptations for younger students, and additional educator resources.
