My Project

My students are interested in careers in the marine sciences or want to learn more about life in oceans. Rhode Island is the Ocean state and ocean life is a large part of their lives. However, students rarely get to see the extraordinary life that lives deep in the sea.

Giving students access to marine specimens, such as squid & crabs, for dissection will allow my students to compare marine anatomy and understand the evolution of marine species.

The students will be able create life experiences by doing hands-on dissections instead of virtual lessons from photos.
