These activities can be done by middle and high school students. With modification and supervision, they can be used by lower grades. Materials are listed for each device, and are primarily commonly obtained items. How Many Microbes: Soil and Compost Dilutions - This lab is for high school students or a science fair project. It could also be done by the teacher and observed as a demonstration. It is slightly materials intensive and requires sterile equipment, which can be purchased.

Extractions: The Because marine biology spans the biological and physical sciences, high school graduates who elect to enter this program should be competent in a variety of subjects. High school mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, and English composition are important background for all college science majors. Additional courses in fields such as geology, meteorology, or oceanography can also be useful background. Community College students who want to transfer into the marine biology program will find it useful to have completed courses such as general biology, chemistry, physics, and calculus at the community college. Please see the ASSIST Web site (www.assist.org) to determine what courses in science at your community college are equivalent to the lower-division courses described below for the marine biology major at San Francisco State University. Moss Landing Marine Laboratories San Francisco State University is a member of a consortium of six California State Universities that jointly operate the Moss Landing Marine Laboratories on Monterey Bay. Moss Landing conducts instructional and research activities on near-shore marine and estuarine environments. Oceangoing research vessels based at Moss Landing also participate in wide-ranging offshore marine research. The Moss Landing curriculum supports a range of programs in marine science. Students matriculating at any of the six participating institutions can take part or all of their graduate work at Moss Landing.

Extractions: The Department of Biology provides a broad range of quality programs to meet student needs. Coursework ranges from introductory biology, botany, zoology, and microbiology to specialized courses in molecular genetics, microbial metabolism, plant ecology, ornithology, limnology, and neurosciences. To aid the student with directed interests, the department has grouped the courses into areas of concentrations described under Degrees and Programs Offered. Further information concerning these may be found on separate information sheets. Students entering any of the programs in Biology should have a sound background in high school chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Students majoring in the general Biology degree program are required to complete 57 units in the major. In addition to the biological science courses, it includes basic and organic chemistry and general physics courses. This program is designed to give breadth rather than depth in Biology. To accomplish this, advanced coursework is distributed in genetics, physiology, ecology, cell or molecular biology, taxonomy or morphology, and evolutionary biology. Electives are also required.

Extractions: You will probably find that any high school you go to will not offer a specific course in marine biology. The closest thing you will get is a regular senior advanced biology course. High School is designed to give you a broad understanding of the basics of math, science and language, so you can later specialize in whatever you want to, such as Marine Biology. You will also find that there are many other courses that college/university offers also related to the marine field - such as oceanography and marine law, etc etc. You will probably take courses in these subjects - as it is all part of getting your degree in Marine Biology. So while you're in high school, I wouldn't be too concerned with specializing in Marine Biology - leave that up to 3rd or 4th year college/university. You may even find that you don't *like* marine biology. But that's what school is for - find what you like and what you don't. There are lots of fields where you can work with cetaceans. Some of the fields may not even have specific names. But you could... be a marine mammal trainer, be a marine mammal scientist out in the ocean - studying behaviour, mating cycles, migration, etc, etc... There's lots of opportunities - you just have to find your niche - what you want to do.
News marine Discovery is offered as an undergraduate course, and an program throughthe CoSs Department of Ecology and Evolutionary biology (EEB) with http://cos.arizona.edu/news/marine.asp
Extractions: Two to three mornings each week during the school year a different elementary or middle school class visits the UA campus to participate in the Marine Discovery Program. Students dissect sharks and squid, hold live starfish and sea cucumbers, and see evidence in marine fossils of a time when the Tucson area was covered by an ancient sea. The outside stairs of the Chemistry and Biological Sciences (Koffler) Building thunder as thirty-two children stampede to the fifth floor for a 2-hour workshop in one of the teaching laboratories, where the students are led through a variety of interactive stations on different topics in marine science. Topics include marine fossils, shark, perch and squid dissection, marine conservation, and fish diversity. University undergraduates are responsible for instruction in the workshops, and they develop and construct each of the interactive stations. In return, the university students receive four units of upper-division science credit, while gaining a great feeling of satisfaction by increasing their own knowledge through teaching others and, in the process, greatly contributing to the learning of children in the community. In addition, the undergraduates are excellent ambassadors for what the UA has to offer to a future student. The ethnic diversity and high proportion of women among I undergraduates in Marine Discovery also works to dash stereotypes held by many youngsters that scientists are exclusively "white men in lab coats".
Extractions: Curriculum In association with the Peel District School Board, Ocean Educations Ltd. brings life to Marine and Environmental Science through study of the habitats, niches and ecosystems of the animals and plants of the Pacific West Coast. Whales, seals, sea-lions, star fish and sea anemone will be your class mates as we take to the water in our investigation of a rocky shore ecosystem.

Extractions: Your preparation is the objective of the certificate program in Living Marine Resource Ecology. The certificate you earn along with a bachelor of science in Biological Science will prepare you to enter a marine profession, such as conservation and fisheries, or to pursue graduate work (M.S. or Ph.D.). You will experience hands-on marine biology and conduct research with marine scientists. You will gain awareness of the great issues and challenges of marine science and conservation. Most of all, you will be able to contribute to advancing knowledge and to meeting those challenges. Applying to the program: If you are in high school or community college, please indicate your interest when you apply for university admission. If you are a FSU lower-division student, you may formally apply for program admission as soon as you successfully complete the Biological Science core course sequence for majors with an average grade of 3.0 or higher (usually after the freshman or sophomore year). Upper-division students who have the required courses and grades may apply retroactively no later than the first semester of the senior year. The certificate requires completion of 16 credit hours of course work (see details below) with an average of 3.0 or higher.
