Field Study

Throughout a student's time in SEA-DISC, they will have the opportunity to go on many educational adventures with their class or the whole academy. In both junior and senior year, students will visit many places that can be connected to the current project. No matter where the class travels there is always knowledge to be learned and fun to be had. Each field trip provides the students with an enjoyable learning community instead of staying in a classroom all the time.

2021 Field Study

Due to COVID-19, the the junior and senior SEA-DISC class did not get to go on any out of school field trips for the year 2021. We did however, manage to have some really awesome virtual field trips, like the Mare Virtual Field trip and contest, and a substitution for the Tidepool Marine Research Field Trip.

Mare Field Study

MARE stands for Marine Applied Research and Exploration. They are a non-profit organization that has a mission to explore and document the unknown parts of the ocean. For this virtual field trip, students were in person, while presenters talked over zoom, about the ocean, their programs, and their jobs. Students were also encouraged to participate in a contest, that required them to make infographics about the effects of plastic. 

Tidepool Lab

Sadly, we couldn't go to tide pools and look at the organisms in the water. However, our Environmental science teacher Ms. Sherman, prepared a phytoplankton, and zooplankton lab, to teach us that ocean water is full of life! We observed different organisms, and sketched pictures of a couple of them. To the right is a video of zooplankton!
