‘Homeschool at Sea’ Week 1: “Growing Up in the Sea”
Looking for interactive classes to add to your homeschool curriculum this year? Join Sanibel Sea School for an immersive program that brings marine science to life for homeschoolers!
The Homeschool at Sea program offers an experiential, hands-on approach to learning about Southwest Florida’s coastal ecosystems. Homeschool sessions include a mix of classroom activities, field excursions, experiments, and art projects. For each age group, both morning and afternoon options are available. Courses run from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM or 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Students can sign up for a morning session, an afternoon session, or stay for the whole day. Each week, we offer a unique area of focus. Our talented marine science educators tailor our core curriculum to the week’s focus, so each session is unique, even on the same day. You can find more information on each week 1’s focus below.
Focus of the Week: Marine Animal Life Cycles
Description: Dive into the fascinating world of marine animal life cycles! Each class will highlight a different marine animal, allowing for an in-depth exploration of its reproductive strategies, early life stages, and environmental adaptations. Fall is a special time on the coast: juvenile horseshoe crabs emerge on the sand flats, tiny sand dollars may be hiding just beneath the sand, and we might even catch the final glimpses of sea turtle hatchlings making their way to the ocean. Plankton tows will allow students to investigate the often unseen early life stages of a wide range of marine species. Join us to discover how these marine animals grow, change, and survive in their ever-changing environment.
