‘Homeschool at Sea’ Week 4: “On the Move”
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: Migration
Description: Join us to learn all about the remarkable migratory journeys of marine animals along our coast and beyond. Each class will focus on a different species—ranging from sea turtles returning to natal beaches to schools of fish following shifting temperatures and even the seasonal movements of birds that rely on coastal ecosystems as critical stopover points. Students will investigate the environmental cues that trigger migration, the physical adaptations that support long-distance travel, and the ecological importance of these movements. We will uncover the interconnectedness of species and habitats across time and space through field observations, data interpretation, and hands-on activities.
