Advanced Ecology

AGE 9-13

Students take an in-depth look at the scientific method and practice applying it to real handson field research. They learn the process of the scientific method while working cooperatively in a team and interacting with live animals. Participants collect animal population data from species they catch in the San Francisco Bay at the Marine Science Institute. Students use their data to formulate graphs in an effort to identify any potential trends. They will gain experience in presenting as they share their final graphs with their peers. SCIENTIFIC
