‘Homeschool at Sea’ Week 3: “Understanding Osteichthyes”
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: Bony Fish
Description: Students will explore local fish diversity this week through focused daily adventures. Each class will highlight a different species, guiding students to identify it, understand its unique adaptations, and, when possible, observe it in its natural habitat. From the rudder-like tail movements of pufferfish to the upright swimming and color-changing abilities of seahorses, we’ll examine the fascinating anatomy, behavior, diet, and ecological niches that define each fish. You can expect plenty of seining, dip netting, and snorkeling. There’s nothing like swimming along with the most diverse group of vertebrates!
